Celebrating 13 Years of Research at NeuroMat: a Look at the Past and the Future

Mar 25, 2026

The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) will hold its closing event, Celebrating 13 Years of Research at NeuroMat: a Look at the Past and the Future, on June 24 - 25, 2026, at the Multipurpose Auditorium of NeuroMat, located in the Antonio Galves Building (NeuroMat headquarters), São Paulo, Brazl.

This two-day workshop will bring together researchers, collaborators, and students to celebrate NeuroMat’s scientific achievements and to reflect on the research perspectives and new directions that have emerged from its activities over more than a decade. The event will feature a series of thematic sessions covering stochastic neuronal networks, the statistical brain hypothesis, computational modeling, and neurobiological and clinical applications, highlighting the breadth and impact of NeuroMat’s contributions.

The program includes invited talks by leading researchers from Brazil and abroad, with both in-person and remote presentations, as well as a special tribute to Antonio Galves. Topics range from stochastic modeling of neural systems and large-scale computational models to applications in neuroimaging, brain stimulation, and neurological disease.

The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, with live streaming available for remote participants. Recordings of the talks will be made available afterward on the NeuroMat YouTube channel.

Poster Session (In-Person Only)

On the final day (June 25), the event will include a poster session, to be held strictly in person. NeuroMat researchers and students are warmly invited to submit their work.
