Abstract

This presentation covers a synthesizing overview of the structural organisation of the brain, viewed as a complex network. Such an organisation is encountered in social, information, technological, and biological networks. The underlying conclusions may, in future, lead to interesting studies in the areas of cognition, and distribution computing. It is also hoped that the brain network structure studied through scale-free, small world, and clustering concepts may facilitate better understanding and design of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems.
