SUMMARY:Controlling Networks: Fundamentals and applications to brain science
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: left;">Abstract : The ultimate proof of our understan
 ding of biological or technological systems is reflected in our ability to 
 control them. While control theory offers mathematical tools to steer engin
 eered and natural systems towards a desired state, we lack a framework to c
 ontrol complex self-organized systems. Here I will explore the controllabil
 ity of an arbitrary complex network, identifying the set of driver nodes wh
 ose time-dependent control can guide the system’s entire dynamics. Virtuall
 y all technological and biological networks must be able to control their i
 nternal processes. Given that, issues related to control deeply shape the t
 opology and the vulnerability of real systems. Consequently, unveiling the 
 control principles of real networks, the goal of our research, forces us to
  address series of fundamental questions pertaining to our understanding of
  complex systems. Finally, I will discuss how control principles inform our
  ability to predict neurons involved in specific processes in the brain, of
 fering an avenue to experimentally falsify and test the predictions of netw
 ork control.</p>
