summaryElectroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, or functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques are currently used to estimate connectivity patterns between different brain areas. In this talk I'll show how a description of this functional wiring, within the framework of complex networks, might provide new insights into the understanding of human brain connectivity during different pathological and cognitive neuro-dynamical states.
