13 Jun 2023EBRAINS welcomes Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience as new associate member
EBRAINS is pleased to announce that the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience has joined the EBRAINS AISBL as an associate member.
The membership went into effect on 16 February 2023. It will give Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience the opportunity to co-design future iterations of EBRAINS’ cutting-edge tools and services. These state-of-the-art capabilities – which cover data sharing, atlasing, modelling, simulation, high-performance computing, and neurorobotics – aim to help European researchers to address major challenges in brain health, benefiting from insights into data science, brain organization, and artificial intelligence gathered from the EU Flagship Human Brain Project.
The Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience is a research network in the field of computational neuroscience. It unites different scientific disciplines in the endeavor to understand how the brain functions. The close combination of neurobiological experiments with theoretical models and computer simulations allows scientists in the Bernstein Network to pursue innovative approaches. The scientists can rely on central infrastructural facilities of the network, which support the scientific dialogue.
Researchers in the Bernstein Network aim to understand computation in the brain and neural networks, from the molecular level to behavior. Such interdisciplinary endeavors require an adequate infrastructure. The membership in EBRAINS will open up novel collaboration opportunities for scientists in computational neuroscience, including access to tools for data acquisition, management and computing.
Chair of the Bernstein Network and Representing the Bernstein Network in EBRAINS
We are delighted to welcome Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience as an associate member at EBRAINS. The network, with its large community of computational neuroscientists, and several central sites across Germany, is an excellent platform for scientific exchange.
