(12 March 2025) Accelerate Your Neuroscience Research with EBRAINS

The EBRAINS tutorials and users day is aimed at two audiences: newcomers to EBRAINS who are interested in learning how to use the tools and services available on the research infrastructure, and seasoned EBRAINS users who would like to attend advanced tutorials and user discussion groups with developers.

The morning of the event will feature plenary introduction talks and 'tools in action' sessions. The afternoon will be dedicated to hands-on sessions on a selection of the tools and services available on EBRAINS.

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)
