SUMMARY:Frédéric Crevecoeur (UCLouvain)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Neural mechanisms of sensorimotor control: towards a theory linking neural activity to motor behaviour \nAbstract: \nContemporary neuroscience increasingly aims to build integrative frameworks that explain the relationship between neural activity and behaviour. Among the most widely used paradigms for quantifying behaviour in humans and other animals\, motor control occupies a central position\, because systems and control theory make it possible to formulate quantitative hypotheses about how the brain transforms sensory information into motor commands. In this presentation\, I will discuss two examples linking neural activity to sensorimotor control. The first illustrates how abnormal movements observed in patients with Essential Tremor may originate from failures in estimating the state of the arm within the neural controller\, giving rise to oscillations comparable to those observed in patients’ limbs. The second shows how motor cortex–like neural activity recorded during reaching movements in monkeys can emerge from a simple model that combines a neural network with a biomechanical plant. Both results offer quantitative insights that can help generate novel hypotheses about neural control of movement. Together\, these examples illustrate how computational models provide powerful tools for interpreting physiological signals\, with important implications for both basic neuroscience and translational research. \nThis seminar will take place in Room S09 at the Faculty of Sciences.

SUMMARY:Diego Samuel Rodrigues (University of Campinas\, SP\, Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Parameter Estimation for Ordinary Differential Equation Models in Cancer Research \nAbstract:  \nInferring parameter values from data is a fundamental problem in quantitative oncology. This seminar offers a concise\, example-driven overview of parameter estimation and experimental design for ordinary differential equation systems\, bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications in cancer research.\n\nThis seminar will take place in Room S0 at the Faculty of Sciences.

SUMMARY:Women and Girls in Science
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Women and Girls in Science takes place every 11th of February\, following the declaration by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 22nd of December 2015. \nThis annual event aims at promoting the access of women and girls to science and technology as well as their full and fair participation. It reminds the important role of women in the scientific community and constitutes a great opportunity to encourage girls and young women to participate in the scientific developments. \nOur 2026 keynote speakers are\n Pr. Roosmarijn Vandenbroucke (University of Gent) and Pr. Nelly Litvak (Eindhoven University of Technology)\nMore information and registration : https://wgis.unamur.be

SUMMARY:Federica Garin (Université Grenoble Alpes)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Graphons and opinion dynamics on large graphs. \nAbstract: \nGraphons are the limits of large dense graphs. Graphons can also be used to define families of random graphs (the so-called W-random graphs)\, similar to Erdős-Rényi random graphs but with some inhomogeneity in the edge probabilities. \nGraphons and W-random graphs\, together with their signed counterparts\, can be useful tools to study opinion dynamics on large-scale networks.  \nIn this talk\, I will review some recent work in this direction\, where we explore some infinite-dimensional dynamics associated with the graphon\, and we study how well they can approximate the corresponding dynamics associated with finite but large W-random graphs. \n  \nThis seminar will take place in Room S08 at the Faculty of Sciences.
