你是否对人类大脑神经的数学结构着迷？这个八月，让我们以数学为钥，解锁大脑的奥秘！本次暑期学校专为数学学子量身打造，聚焦大规模系统建模的精妙框架、Hawkes神经科学过程的时空动力学密码、基于传输时延与互联强度视角下对历时模型的局部稳定性分析，动理学福克-普朗克（Fokker-Planck）方程的存在性理论，以及生物神经网络中的测度集中现象这一揭示复杂系统的数学奇迹。
Are you captivated by the mathematical architecture underlying human neural networks?
This August, let’s wield mathematics as a key to unlock the enigmas of the brain! Tailored explicitly for math enthusiasts, this summer school delves into the sophisticated frameworks of large-scale system modeling, deciphers the spatiotemporal dynamics encoded in Hawkes processes for neuroscience, on the local stability of the elapsed-time model in terms of the transmission delay and interconnection strength, the existence theory for a kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with measure right-hand side arising in neuroscience, and unravels the mathematical marvel of measure concentration in biological neural networks—a phenomenon that illuminates the hidden order within complex systems.
