EBRAINS Webinar Series - Multiscale Brain Simulations in EBRAINS: from the Neuron to the Patient

Join us on Thursday, 5 February 2026, for a dedicated webinar showcasing how EBRAINS supports advanced brain modelling and simulation across scales, from detailed single-neuron models to whole-brain, patient-specific simulations.

This webinar will feature presentations by Viktor Jirsa, Chief Science Officer of EBRAINS, and Egidio D’Angelo, Director of the Neurophysiology Unit at the University of Pavia. Together, they will introduce how multiscale brain simulations on EBRAINS enable the integration of data and models across different levels of brain organisation, bridging cellular mechanisms and whole-brain dynamics.

Multiscale simulation is a key step toward mechanistic understanding in neuroscience and medicine. By linking models across spatial and temporal scales, EBRAINS allows researchers to move beyond isolated descriptions toward coherent, predictive frameworks that connect experimental data, theory, and clinical application. This webinar will highlight how such approaches are implemented in practice within the EBRAINS ecosystem. It is aimed at neuroscientists, computational modellers, experimental researchers, clinicians, and early-career scientists interested in multiscale brain simulation. No prior experience with EBRAINS is required.
