Standard Neuroscience Assumptions and the Dynamical Alternative - Class 2

Explore the second lecture in Donald Katz's series from Brandeis University, where he challenges standard neuroscience assumptions and presents dynamical alternatives. This 42-minute talk, part of the ICTP-SAIFR School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition (March 10-21, 2025), delves deeper into how dynamical systems theory offers alternative frameworks for understanding neural processes. Learn how these perspectives differ from conventional neuroscience models and their implications for our understanding of behavior and cognition. The lecture builds upon concepts introduced in the first class while introducing new theoretical approaches that may reshape how we conceptualize brain function.
