The complexity of the brain requires all different modeling strategies to deal with both the complexity of its physiology and biology as well as with the data generated by current imaging (primarily MRI) and neurophysiological techniques. The problem therefore requires understanding of single neurons and local microcircuits as well as of global network behaviours, which will be covered over the 4 days of the programme. The course will include discussion on fundamental definitions, on data collection and on the computational modelling ecosystem and is opened to people from all backgrounds (physicists engineers, physiologists, clinicians, mathematicians, etc...). From the discussion sections and networking events of the course we will forge new collaborations and foster the development of ideas on what to concentrate on in years to come, inspiring young and established scientists, promoting inter disciplinary integration.
