Until recently, however, such transitory global brain dynamics were poorly understood mainly due to the difficulty in characterising spatio-temporally high dimensional neural data.<br \/>\nIn this seminar, first, I will talk about the possibility that \u201cenergy-landscape analysis\u201d could be a key method to address such a situation. In healthy humans, this data-driven approach successfully depicted transitory brain dynamics during fluctuating visual consciousness, and indicated a biological mechanism underlying age-related changes in cognitive skills. In autistic individuals, this method revealed that both their symptoms and unique cognitive skills are attributable to their atypically over-stable brain dynamics.<br \/>\nI will also present recent findings of atypicality in local brain dynamics in autistic individuals and discuss how such atypical local neural dynamics could induce the aberrant global transitory brain dynamics in autism.<br \/>\nFinally, I will talk about how we can exploit these observations for the development of new non-invasive treatments of this prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Details are below or click <a class=\"pdflink\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>(PDF).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-39x55.jpg 39w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-947x1339.jpg 947w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1-624x882.jpg 624w, https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1211-IRCN-Seminar-1.jpg 1654w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Date:\u3000December 11, 2018\u300014:00-15:00 Venue:\u3000IRCN Seminar Room@13F, Faculty of Medicine Experimental Research Building, School of Medicine, Hongo Campus Speaker:\u3000Takamitsu Watanabe\u3000 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#038;n [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9Xf4o-2k3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8931"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8931"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8951,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8931\/revisions\/8951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
