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.
