講演内容（Abstract)
(1)"Synchronization of Chaos in Lasers and Neurons " (Prof. Fischer)
Lasers show rich dynamical behaviors which could be useful for applications such as optical sensing and secure optical communications,
as well as providing a laboratory for exploring universal dynamical mechanisms which help us understand oscillatory behavior in neural systems.
We present remarkable synchronization and correlation properties of various networks of coupled oscillators, including a case
where the coupling signal shows neither correlation nor mutual information with the synchronized dynamics, and self-organization of zero time-lag synchronization among remote oscillators.
(2)"Chaos-based Communication Field Experiments in Europe"(Dr. Mirasso)
Data transmission using chaotic optical carriers is being studied with the objective of realizing new methods to enhance security at high transmission rates in optical fiber networks.
In this talk we explain the main characteristics of data transmission using chaotic optical carriers, including the synchronization and nonlinear filtering properties of receiver lasers.
Objectives and achievements of the European projects OCCULT and PICASSO will be reviewed,
including experimental results on Gbit/s message encryption/decryption over long distance (> 100 km) in the metropolitan area optical fiber network of Athens.
(3)"Fluctuation and Synchronization in Brain Dynamics"(Dr. Breakspear)
We explain how stochastic fluctuations play a crucial role in large-scale neuronal activity and embody key cognitive processes such as uncertainty and ambivalence.
And we show how nonlinear dynamics shape neural noise, with features manifest in large scale measures of brain activity, EEG and functional neuro-imaging.
We also describe how information theoretic methods can be used to characterize dynamical connectivity in the brain, including multi-scale intermittent synchronization activity.
