Invitation to the Brain Connectivity Workshop 2026 — BCW 2026

BrainLatam invites researchers, students, and clinicians to learn more about and take part in the Brain Connectivity Workshop 2026, to be held from June 10–12, 2026, at Pont du Gard, near Nîmes, France.


Brain Connectivity Workshop 2026 — BCW 2026

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, BCW 2026 will focus on the central theme:

“Bridging Scales in a Principled Manner”

The scientific program will address topics such as:

Multiscale connectivity
Integrating microcircuits, brain networks, and whole-brain dynamics.

Whole-brain and biophysical modeling
Computational models and principled frameworks for understanding brain organization.

Multimodal data integration
Combining methods such as EEG, MEG, fMRI, fNIRS, connectomics, clinical data, and modeling.

Dynamics and control of brain networks
Studying temporal changes, transitions, stability, and modulation of brain networks.

Connectivity across development and disease
Investigating how brain networks change across the lifespan and in clinical conditions.

The workshop will also include short oral presentations, extended discussions, the “My Research in 180 Seconds – MR180s” e-poster session, and an Educational Day dedicated to methods-oriented sessions for students, early-career researchers, and clinicians.

BrainLatam2026 Vision on “Bridging Scales”

For BrainLatam2026, “bridging scales” touches one of the central questions of Decolonial Neuroscience: how can we connect the brain that fires signals in milliseconds with the body that breathes, feels, decides, belongs, and lives within collectives?

This bridge is not only between microcircuits, brain networks, and computational models. It is also between EEG, NIRS, respiration, HRV, GSR, movement, interoception, and proprioception, helping us understand the Damasian Mind in action: an embodied, situated brain in relation with territory.

BCW 2026 will be a special space to discuss these connections: from neural signals to bodily dynamics, from individual connectivity to shared agency, from disease to development, from mathematical models to the living brain in real-world environments.

BrainLatam2026 invites Latin America to bring its own questions into this international conversation:

How can we measure belonging?
How do brain networks change when the body enters safety, rigidity, or creativity?
How can EEG and NIRS reveal transitions between Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3?

To participate in BCW 2026 is to join an essential conversation: building a neuroscience capable of crossing scales without losing the body, the territory, and shared life.
