The brain is a functional complex system characterized by multiple levels of integration, multiple time scales of activity, and multiple coding and decoding properties. The contribution of several disciplines, mathematics, physics, computer science, neurobiology, pharmacology, physiology, behavioral and clinical sciences, is necessary in order to cope with neural complexity across multiple scales. Neurodynamics is observed throughout the scales, from the sensory transduction level to the whole brain activity. What are the neurobiological and dynamics mechanisms underlying the complex neural activities? How flexible and robust are neural codes when considering the space-time evolution of brain waves? What is the role of noise in the nervous system: is it a perturbation or has it a precise role in the signal transmission and integration? This and other open problems are at the core of cognitive neurodynamics research. The scope of International Conference on Cognitive Neurodynamics (ICCN) is to gather active participants, from PhD students to senior scholars, to discuss ideas and pose new questions on cognitive neurodynamics from different viewpoints, ranging from single neurons and neural networks to animal/human behavior in theoretical and experimental studies. The conference will be organized with plenary lectures, mini-symposia, interdisciplinary round tables, oral and poster sessions.

ICCN is a conference held biennially, i.e. every other year, with the aim to attract a worldwide audience and establish a bridge across cultural and scientific communities who share their interest in cognitive neurodynamics.
