Renowned Neuroscientist Dr. Jeffrey Burgdorf to Give Lecture on Time Series Analysis at UW
We invite you to an open lecture by Dr. Jeffrey Burgdorf from Northwestern University, titled “New Horizons in the Analysis of Time Series: From Neurons to Behaviors”. The lecture is organized as part of a mentoring visit under the Excellence Initiative – Research University program (Action I.1.1/IV.1.1 “Mentor Program”).
Dr. Jeffrey Burgdorf is a world-class expert in the neurobiology of emotions, a co-author of groundbreaking research on the mechanisms of positive affect, and a pioneer in the study of ultrasonic vocalizations in rodents. He also works in the pharmaceutical industry, contributing to the development of rapastinel, a promising substance with antidepressant and neuroprotective properties.
His research focuses on the analysis of multi-scale oscillations that govern living organisms and their interconnections – from the pulsations of individual neurons to brain waves, physiological rhythms such as heart rate and respiration, vocalizations, behaviors, and even circadian cycles.
During the lecture, the emotional system and its fundamental role in the functioning of the entire brain will also be incorporated into this dynamic framework.
The lecture, open to the University of Warsaw community, will take place on Monday, March 3, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM at ICM UW, Pawińskiego 5A, in the seminar room on the 5th floor (ICM Library).
