1/ Delighted to officially launch the 2025 BrainModes Conference 🔗 https://t.co/ExVeohPK3U 📅 October 8-10 📍 @FieldsInstitute , @UofT, Toronto Registration now open! All you need to know in the 🧵below👇: @BrainModes @OHBM @thevirtualbrain @CAMH_KCNI @CAMHResearch @SickKidsNews

Forgive me RLF if the use of poetic license here is excessive. Was great penning this one & seeing published alongside a fab orig article in @ClinicalNeuroph. Hope the mix of light-hearted tone & technical neurosci history resonates w/ readers as much as it did with the authors.

Special privilege to be kicking off the conference with this roller coaster ride through key theoretical neuroscience developments from the 1800s through to the 2020s. Was a lot of fun reading classic work from the 40s and 50s putting this one together

Was a pleasure to chair thelis symposium that kicked off the first full day of the OHBM conference. Superb science discussed by a superb group of young scientists.

🚨 Ready to model the brain? Join us at 9am in📍Room M2 for our symposium on Brain Models of Brain Stimulation 🧠⚡️ We’ll dive into cutting-edge methods and future directions in #BrainStimulation and computational modeling #OHBM2025 #NeuroModelling #ComputationalNeuroscience

🧠💥 Grateful to this brilliant crew for making our Neural Field Theory course happen at #OHBM2025. Huge thanks to everyone who attended, asked sharp questions, and stayed curious. And thank you @OHBM exibiyion for letting us run this workshop for the third time 🙌

Then: "Connectomes of Neural Fields" by @ViktorJirsa From The Virtual Brain to real connectomes: Jirsa showed how to embed neural field models onto individual brain geometries.

Next up: "Mathematical Frameworks" by @DrBreaky. He walk us through the core equations underlying Neural Field Theory how spatially continuous dynamics emerge from population models, the role of convolution kernels, and how NFT bridges neurobiology and PDEs. #OHBM2025

Closing the day: "NFT & Cortico-Hippocampal Interactions" by @phogat_richa She explored how Neural Field Theory can capture interactions between cortical and hippocampal systems #OHBM2025

Continue the session: "NFT & Neurostimulation" by Huifang Wang. She presented a virtual twin framework using Neural Field Theory to simulate individual brain responses to neurostimulation

We kicked off with "History & Biological Rationale of Neural Field Theory" by @neurodidact from @CAMH_KCNI

We're running our Neural Field Theory course today at #OHBM2025! 📍 Room M3 From neural mass models to full-blown field theory and connectome-based dynamics—come by and dive into the math of the 👉 https://t.co/IeToSp0kLm
