*Probability Webinar -   IM-UFRJ *



Dear colleagues,

Our next online seminar will be held on Monday, *March 15*, from *3 p.m. to
4 p.m*. (Rio de Janeiro local time)

Speaker:   *Rodrigo Cofré (**Universidad de Valparaiso )*

Title: *Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train
Statistics*

Abstract: The Thermodynamic Formalism provides a rigorous mathematical
framework for studying the quantitative and qualitative aspects of
dynamical systems. At its core, there is a variational principle that
corresponds, in its simplest form, to the maximum entropy principle. It has
been used as a statistical inference procedure to represent the collective
behavior of complex systems by specific probability measures (Gibbs
measures). This framework has found applications in different domains of
science. In particular, it has been fruitful and influential in
neurosciences. In this talk, I will discuss and briefly review how
Thermodynamic Formalism can be exploited in the field of theoretical
neuroscience, as a conceptual and operational tool, to link the dynamics of
interacting neurons and the statistics of action potentials from either
experimental data or mathematical models. I will end this talk by
commenting on perspectives and open problems in theoretical neuroscience
that could be addressed within this formalism.



All the talks are held in English.
