Symposium E11 “Cognitive science, neurogenetics, neuroinformatics and systems computational biology”

Symposium “Cognitive Sciences, Neurogenetics, Neuroinformatics, and Systems Biology” is devoted to fundamental and applied problems of modern cognitive science and technologies in their relationship with neurophysiology, neurogenetics, bioinformatics, systems computational biology, and information technologies.

The central topics of the symposium include:

• results of theoretical and experimental studies aimed at investigating the neurophysiological and molecular-genetic foundations of cognitive activity in humans and animals under normal conditions and in pathologies;
• research into the impact of genomic variability on variation in cognitive, neurophysiological, behavioral, and psychological characteristics in humans; identification of molecular-genetic markers determining these characteristics of individuals, including the level of predisposition to developing stress-induced disorders;
• reconstruction of gene networks and molecular-genetic systems that control cognitive, behavioral, and psychological characteristics in humans;
• application of modern information and computational technologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, for processing and analyzing neurophysiological, psychogenetic, and genomic data;
• results of applied studies related to the development of methods for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of nervous system diseases based on modern research on cognitive activity;
• applicability of biofeedback technology for non-pharmacological correction of neuropsychiatric disorders and approaches to developing brain–computer interfaces;
• specialists conducting research on brain functions, the molecular-genetic and systemic bases of regulation of cognitive processes, as well as specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairments are invited to participate in the symposium.
