The Lancet Neurology recently published a paper with Professor P. Ryvlin, one of the Human Brain Project scientific experts, as lead author.

Researchers in the Human Brain Project work on a new solution for sensitive medical data

A research team from the University of Milan demonstrate in a study recently published in Human Brain Mapping that their new method AnonyMI outperforms previous strategies to deidentify MRI data with minimal loss of geometric information, facilitating data sharing in accordance with data protection regulations.

Scientists from Heidelberg and Bern have succeeded in training spiking neural networks to solve complex tasks with extreme energy efficiency. The advance was enabled by the BrainScaleS-2 neuromorphic platform, which can be accessed online as part of the EBRAINS research infrastructure.

Day two of the Human Brain Project Scientific Conference started with a strong focus on brain-inspired technologies. Giacomo Invideri (ETH Zurich) presented an illuminating keynote on “Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering: Past, Present and Future”.

The Human Brain Project has opened its 8th annual Summit with presentations of new scientific insights and a powerful new infrastructure for brain research – EBRAINS

On 12 October, representatives of the highest levels of research policy and brain science met in Brussels for the first European Brain Summit, carried out jointly with the European Brain Council (EBC) and in conjunction with the Brain Innovation Days.

The innovation developed in the context of HBP is a Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI), which measures the complexity of electroencephalographic (EEG) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS); it showed a remarkable sensitivity in detecting minimal signs of consciousness.

Just before the start of the new semester, the Programme Committee of the Baltic-Nordic Summer School invited students and researchers from all over the world to join them in this year’s summer school titled ‘Learning in the Brain and NeuroRobots - from Molecules to Behaviour with the EBRAINS Training on the Brain Function, Dysfunction and Neurorobotic Systems on Brain Atlasing and Simulation Services available on EBRAINS’, from 21 – 25 September 2021. The Baltic-Nordic Summer School was first established in 2013 to further the exchange between researchers from the Baltic-Nordic countries, but has since then also attracted participants world-wide.

The full dataset of the Julich-Brain probabilistic maps has been published and can be freely downloaded. The data package comprises 148 probability maps in a three-dimensional reference space.
