Prizes & Awards

2023
Anna Kravchenko and Andrey Bagrov, together with Federico Stella from the Donders Institute for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognition, received an Interdisciplinary Research Platform voucher to pursue a project titled "Multi-scale dynamics and structural complexity of cortical neuronal activity". This project will bring the theory of structural complexity that is being developed by the TCM group members (e.g., https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2004976117 and https://www.nature.com/articles/s41534-022-00559-7) to the realm of neurophysiology, and help attain deeper formal understanding of mechanisms underlying the processes of memory consolidation.
