EBRAINS Tutorials and Users Day on Wednesday, 12 March 2025

[Andrew Davison]

We are delighted to invite you to join us in Heidelberg, Germany at the EINC, from 11-13 March 2025, for a series of EBRAINS events.  

The EBRAINS Tutorials and Users Day on Wednesday, 12 March may be of particular interest to you. It is aimed at both newcomers and experienced users of EBRAINS tools. Newcomers will have the chance to explore the wide range of Open Science Tools and Services available on the research infrastructure, while seasoned EBRAINS users can dive deeper with advanced tutorials and discuss with developers. Hands-on tutorials will be offered on the following:

 

Foundation elements:

• EBRAINS software distribution (ESD)
• EBRAINS Knowledge Graph

Simulation and emulation:

• Arbor, multicompartmental simulation library
• SpiNNaker neuromorphic compute system (simulation of spiking neural networks)
• BrainScaleS neuromorphic compute system (emulation of spiking neural networks in accelerated time)
• tauRAMD (computation of relative residence times (τ) or dissociation rates of protein-ligand complexes) and SDA (Simulation of Diffusional Association)
• NEST related:  
  • NEST Desktop
  • NEST astrocyte module tutorial
  • NESTML tutorial

 

Specialised workflows:

• QUINT workflow (workflow to support atlas-based quantification)
• Snudda (building networks of neurons with synaptic connectivity based on the morphologies of reconstructed neurons and touch detection)
• Building reproducible workflows with EBRAINS atlases using siibra-python
• Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Builder / Hippocampus Hub tools/web app
• Vast parameter space explorations using L2L on EBRAINS
• Using Neo and Elephant for the Analysis of Electrophysiological Data
• Brain Scaffold Builder (BSB)
• Cobrawap (Collaborative Brain Wave Analysis Pipeline)

 

Medicine related:

• Dopaminergic regulation in schizophrenia with TVB (The Virtual Brain)
• Demonstration session in the context of Sensitive data / Health related EBRAINS offerings (MIP / HIP related)

 

Neuromorphic computing: 

• SpiNNaker (digital many core system)
• BrainScaleS (continuous time accelerated analog system)
