Symposium “Cognitive science, neurogenetics, neuroinformatics and systems computational biology”

The symposium «Cognitive science, neurogenetics, neuroinformatics and systems computer biology» is planned to discuss fundamental and applied problems related to the development of modern cognitive science and technology in their relationship with neurophysiology, neurogenetics, systems biology and information technology. It is supposed to discuss the results of the theoretical and experimental studies aimed at exploration of the neurophysiological and molecular-genetic foundations of the humans and animals cognitive activity in health and diseases. Particular attention of the symposium will be paid to the application of modern methods of computer analysis, including artificial intelligence approaches, for the processing of neurophysiological and psychogenetic data.

The problems of the symposium also concern applied research related to the development of methods for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system based on modern research on cognitive activity. In particular, it is planned to discuss the applicability of the biological feedback technology for non-medication correction of neuropsychiatric and neurological diseases and approaches to the development of brain-computer interfaces. Specialists conducting scientific research on brain functions, molecular genetic and systemic foundations of the regulation of cognitive processes, as well as specialists in the field of diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairment are invited to participate in the symposium.
