- Press Release
The Human Brain Project has contributed to a deeper understanding of the complex structure and function of the human brain with a unique interdisciplinary approach at the interface of neuroscience and technology.
One of the core aims of the Human Brain Project was the establishment of a cutting-edge research infrastructure to allow scientific and industrial researchers to advance their knowledge in the fields of neuroscience, computing and brain-related medicine. This research infrastructure is called EBRAINS and it will further pursue the journey started by the HBP.

Focus Areas
Connectivity and dysconnectivity
Developing personalised network models and relevant clinical applications to better understand brain behaviour.
Discover moreConsciousness and Cognition
Developing a multi-scale understanding of physiological, drug-induced, and pathological brain states and how they can support consciousness and cognition.
Discover moreBrain-inspired cognitive architectures
Improving our understanding of how brain networks enable visuo-motor and cognitive functions, such as dexterous manipulation, spatial navigation, and relational reasoning.
Discover moreData and Knowledge
The EBRAINS Data and Knowledge Services increase the efficiency and productivity in research by making data discoverable and reusable.
Discover moreAccess to Atlas Tools and Services
Brain atlases provide spatial reference systems for neuroscience that allow navigation, characterisation and analysis of information based on anatomical location.
Learn MoreSimulations
Integrated workflows for model creation, simulation and validation, data analysis and visualization, covering and connecting the different levels of description ranging from molecular and subcellular, to cellular, network and whole brain level.
Discover moreMedical Data Analytics
Helping clinicians, clinical scientists, and clinical data scientists who aim to adopt advanced analytics for diagnosis and research in clinics.
Discover moreThe Neurorobotics Platform
The service for embodied simulation developed by the Human Brain Project, now offered by EBRAINS.
Learn moreComputing and Storage
The High-Performance Computing, Cloud Computing, Storage and Network Services of the Fenix infrastructure are integrated in EBRAINS. They are complemented by additional services, e.g., for data transfer and infrastructure monitoring.
Discover moreAccess to Neuromorphic Computing
The neuromorphic compute systems SpiNNaker (1 mio core ARM processor system) and BrainScaleS (physical analog neuromorphic system) are available through EBRAINS.
