OHBM 2025 Symposia Through a Systemic and Decolonial Lens
OHBM 2025 Symposia Through a Systemic and Decolonial Lens
The OHBM 2025 Symposia offer fertile ground to integrate cutting-edge neuroscience with concepts such as the Responsible State, the Damasian Mind, APUS (Extended Proprioception), and a critical stance on republican systems of knowledge production. Below, we outline how these themes can be harmonized with the proposed symposia, crafting a transdisciplinary narrative rooted in metabolic, territorial, and epistemic justice.
1. Advancements in Brain Stimulation Modeling
How brain stimulation modeling can be used to soften rigid connectomic patterns (Scissors/Rock/Paper dynamics).
- Damasian Mind:
- Insula stimulation (interoception) as a way to modulate crystallized existential feelings.
- Citizen DREX: Investigating whether economic insecurity alters tDCS/TMS responsiveness in decision-making networks.
2. Antisocial Behaviour and the Brain
How oppressive social norms (e.g., lack of guaranteed income) generate neural disengagement patterns.
- Decolonial Neuroscience: "Antisocial behavior" may be an adaptive response to exclusionary republican systems.
3. Beyond Pairwise: Higher-Order Interactions (HOI) in Brain Dynamics
“Some effects are causes of almost everything” – how HOIs reveal emotional metabolism dynamics.
- Example: HOIs in EEG microstates may show how transient emotions (Paper) reorganize critical networks (Scissors).
4. Boosting Clinical Relevance of Movie Paradigms in Psychiatry
Narrative neuroscience as a tool to understand trauma embedded in normative oppression.
- Collaborative Education: Films as tools to decolonize psychiatric diagnostics.
5. Brain Activity Propagation: Origins and Behavioral Significance
How cortical depression propagation relates to collective beliefs (e.g., meritocracy).
- APUS Link: Activity propagation is not just neural, but territorial and bodily.
6. Can Brain Biomarkers Inform Pain and Individual Differences?
Pain as a metabolism-dependent phenomenon, not purely neural.
- Decolonial Critique: Western pain biomarkers overlook cultural contexts (e.g., Indigenous resistance to pain).
7. Clinical Applications of Brain Mapping Across the Lifespan
How Citizen DREX could alter neural developmental trajectories.
- Example: Compare brain connectomes in children with and without access to basic income.
8. Computational Models Integrating Neurobiology and Social Determinants
Modeling how economic oppression alters network dynamics.
- Simulate the impact of redistributive policies (like DREX) on neural plasticity.

9. DIC Symposium: First Nations in Neuroimaging
Indigenous neuroscience as an antidote to Western reductionism.
- APUS Link: Extended proprioception in Indigenous cultures as a model for situated brain mapping.
10. From Connectome Mapping to Surgical Interventions
“Every cut in the universe is for comprehension, not for being” – surgery affects systemic dynamics, not isolated parts.
11. Global fMRI Harmonisation for Mental Health
“A responsible state doesn’t impose the same rules in different places” – how fMRI patterns vary across contexts.
- Harmonization ≠ Standardization – cultural differences in neural markers must be respected.
12. Machine Learning for Brain Imaging: Predicting Disease and Treatment
“The Self does not exist” – how AI could help transcend individualist biases.
- Ethical Risk*: Algorithms that replicate republican biases (e.g., applying the same diagnostic models across cultures).
13. Network Controllability: Theory vs. Empiricism
Network control modeled as a Rock-Paper-Scissors game.
- Top-down control (Scissors) vs. bottom-up emergence (Paper).
14. Sex, Gender, and Brain: From Research to Clinical Practice
“Sex and gender are gradients, not categories” – how neuroimaging can transcend binary paradigms.
- Western models ignore third-gender realities in ancestral cultures.
15. The Road Less Traveled: Brainstem and Cerebellum in Cognition
“Time emerges from the relative movement of spaces” – brainstem as a regulator of embodied temporal perception.
- APUS Link: The cerebellum as an organ of social proprioception.
Toward a Radically Contextual Neuroscience
OHBM 2025 has the potential to become a turning point—toward a neuroscience that is less reductionist, more systemic, decolonial, and metabolically grounded.
A neuroscience where:
- Scanners engage with the streets
- Algorithms are aware of their biases
- Knowledge serves liberation, not control
