The second day of the Corticon symposium started this Tuesday with discussions on neural correlates of perception, awareness and consciousness.

The Human Brain Project’s neuroscientists and invited guests will present their latest achievements in understanding neurocircuit dynamics at microscales, meso- and macroscales, including the emergence of consciousness, at the Symposium “From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness”. The three-day event started this Monday at the Institut Catholique de Paris, France.

In the first week of March EBRAINS and the HBP Education Team were happy to host virtually the Training Workshop on Tools for Molecular Simulation of Neuronal Signaling Cascades.

New research by brain and computer scientists from Korea University and Human Brain Project Partner University of Liège shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to quantify changes in consciousness during sleep, dreaming, anaesthesia, and coma. Their results were recently published in the journal Nature Communications.

Leading brain researcher Katrin Amunts was presented with the Cross of Merit 1st Class of the Federal Republic of Germany by North Rhine-Westphalia's Science Minister Isabel Pfeiffer-Poensgen on 16 March for her outstanding commitment to the field of neuroscience.

In a new article published in eNeuro, fifteen leading scientists of the European Human Brain Project (HBP) outline how a new culture of collaboration and an era of digitalization has transformed neuroscience research over the last decade.

While any day makes for a great opportunity to celebrate the women in our lives, International Women’s Day gives us one more reason to do exactly that. International Women’s Day on March 8th is a special occasion to acknowledge women’s incredible achievements, raise awareness, and encourage others to advocate for gender equality.
