🧠 How can digital brain models support real-world care? At the Virtual Brain Twin (#VBT) Co-Lab in Bonn, patients, clinicians and researchers explored how personalised brain models could support clinical decision-making in conditions such as #epilepsy and #schizophrenia. The focus: trustworthy, ethical and human-centred AI tools designed to support - not replace - clinicians. Read more: ebrains.eu/news-and-event… #EBRAINS #Neuroscience #BrainHealth

We are looking forward to the Brain Connectivity Workshop 2026 in Nîmes, France from 10-12 June! EBRAINS will have a strong presence at the event. EBRAINS researchers Dr. Spase Petkoski and Dr. Meysam Hasehemi will give a hands-on introduction to the Virtual Brain Platform, covering computational modelling and simulation of personalised brain dynamics, on 10 June at 14:00. EBRAINS Chief Science Officer Viktor Jirsa will take part in the roundtable 'Controversies in Brain Connectivity' on 12 June at 16:30. Find out more: ebrains.eu/news-and-event…

The @UniHeidelberg was happy to take part in Girls’ Day 2026 on 23 April and to welcome a group of 19 students from different schools and regions. The group had the opportunity to run larger-scale experiments using the BrainScaleS-2 system via EBRAINS. This allowed them to see how such systems are used in current research.

EBRAINS will be present at the EAN Congress 2026! @EANeurology will host its 12th annual Congress in Geneva from 27-30 June 2026, bringing together thousands of neurologists, scientists, educators, and healthcare professionals from around the world to discuss the latest developments in neurology. As one of the largest international events dedicated to brain and neurological health, the congress fosters scientific exchange, professional growth, and cross-sector collaboration. This year’s overarching theme is “Brains, Bytes & Beyond: Tech in Neurology”, offering several highlight sessions exploring how rapid advances in computing and artificial intelligence are reshaping clinical neurology—from restorative therapies to the core processes of clinical reasoning and decision‑making—bringing both transformative opportunities and significant challenges.

🧠 Yesteday, EBRAINS was honoured to participate in the inaugural European Brain Economy Summit organised by @EU_Brain. As a European digital research infrastructure, EBRAINS supports the development of the #BrainCapital economy through neuroscience data, digital tools, models and services supporting brain health. The Summit highlighted the “Brain Dividend”, value-based care and the launch of the #BrainCapital Index for Europe. 📷braincouncil.eu/event/european…

Would you like to start using EBRAINS for your research? Hear from other scientists about how they use the infrastructure! In this new testimonial, PD Dr. Christiane Jockwitz explains how she uses EBRAINS to understand the aging brain 👇

The agenda for the EBRAINS Roadmap Symposium is now available! The agenda is based on thematic clustering of accepted contributions by the EBRAINS Roadmap review group. The following questions will be discussed: · How does brain function emerge from its multiscale architecture? · How do we build digital brain twins that capture disease mechanisms well enough to guide intervention? · How do computation, AI, and intelligent infrastructure shape what we can learn about the brain —and what brains can teach machines? · How do we translate digital brain science into clinical practice and technological innovation? · How do we ensure the sustainability, accessibility, and societal responsibility of brain research infrastructure? Registration for the event is now closed. The Symposium expects to welcome 150 participants from the digital neuroscience community and beyond. See the agenda: ebrains.eu/news-and-event…
