2-day Training Workshop in Marseille,
France, on May 15-16, 2017
We would like to invite interested students and
researchers to the upcoming The Virtual Brain
Node 5 workshop, Marseille, France, 15th - 16th May
2017.
The workshop is dedicated to a theoretical and hands-on
understanding of large-scale brain network modeling using the
open source neuroinformatics platform The Virtual Brain (TVB).
For the first time this workshop will be held over 2 days and
will go more in depth regarding the hands-on modeling sessions
along explicit use cases from resting state studies and
clinical applications to epilepsy and stroke. Also for the
first time we will offer in-depth training of fitting virtual
brain models to human imaging data.
The Virtual Brain simulation environment enables
the biologically realistic modeling of network dynamics using
connectome-based approaches across different brain scales.
Personalized brain network models can be derived from an
individual’s MRI data. Configurable brain network models
generate macroscopic neuroimaging signals including functional
MRI, intracranial and stereotactic EEG, surface EEG and MEG
for single subjects. TVB researchers from different
backgrounds can benefit from an integrative software platform
including a supporting framework for data management
(generation, organization, storage, integration and sharing)
and a simulation core written in Python.
Workshop format: lectures and hands-on
tutorials. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data
to work on.
Workshop program overview:
- Theoretical background of large scale brain network
modeling
- Architecture of The Virtual Brain (TVB)
- Interacting with TVB using GUI and Python interface
- Preprocessing neuroimaging data, or how to obtain a TVB
dataset
- Fitting the brain model parameters to the functional data
- Modeling resting state network dynamics in fMRI
- Modeling stroke and recovery
- Modeling epilepsy and surgical interventions
- Modifying TVB code and implementing new features
- Bring your own data hands-on sessions: preprocessing and
simulations
