Atlases
Brain atlases provide spatial reference systems for neuroscience, giving the ability to navigate, characterise, and analyse information on the basis of anatomical location. Atlases define shape, location, and variability of brain regions in common coordinate spaces and allow interpretation, integration, and comparison of observations and measurements collected from different sources and different brains.

Simulation
In research, simulation acts as the main conduit for interchange between experiment and theory. It is a powerful instrument in our endeavour to understand the human brain, which is a complex dynamic system with a multi-scale architecture, further complicated by significant differences between one person’s brain and another’s. The complexity and versatility of the brain, and the variations from one brain to another, are major scientific challenges, driving the development of simulation technology.

Brain-Inspired Technologies
EBRAINS offers brain-inspired tools and services to understand and leverage the computational capabilities of spiking neural networks. Contrary to standard deep neural networks, which consume considerable amounts of energy, spiking neural networks are key to understanding the human brain's ability to continuously learn and express higher cognitive functions while consuming only 20W.
