29 Oct 2023EBRAINS welcomes Delft University of Technology as new associate member
EBRAINS is pleased to announce that Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has joined the EBRAINS AISBL as an associate member.
The membership will give TU Delft 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.
TU Delft excels in pioneering methods and cutting-edge instrumentation for neurostimulation, with applications ranging from addressing tinnitus to Deep Brain Stimulation in patients grappling with Parkinson's disease. Notably, in the 4DEEG project, TU Delft has made significant strides in tracing signal propagation through the brain, a pivotal development to enhance the effectiveness of neurostimulation therapies.
“Unravelling the cause-and-effect dynamics within the human brain demands precise external neurostimulation signals and the ability to meticulously track their propagation. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but we're fortunate to have a clear picture of that needle."
Professor of Biomechatronics and Bio-robotics, TU Delft
“Through this membership TU Delft researchers are poised to engage proactively in teams dedicated to digital neuroscience, brain medicine, and brain-inspired technology. This collaborative venture promises to unlock exciting avenues for advancing brain-related research, effectively bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and their real-world applications in medicine and industry. I think this collaboration can bring us a lot.”
Professor of Bio-Electronics, TU Delft
"We're very pleased to welcome Delft University of Technology as an associate member at EBRAINS. The university boasts considerable experience in the development of neurostimulation methods."
Joint Chief Executive Officer of EBRAINS
