Human Neocortical Neurosolver

We're thrilled to announce the 1st release of HNN-core; a streamlined Python package with the utility of HNN + a command line interface. It came from an effort to reorganize HNN’s underlying code and facilitate community engagement in its use & development hnn.brown.edu/hnn-core

Want to learn more about the new release? We are hosting a free online workshop with NSG on June 22nd, 12 PM - 3 PM (ET). We will go over the basics of HNN, simulating and optimizing ERPs, as well as NSG resources and submitting batch simulations on NSG. forms.gle/Eaq5XtmczAvdoj…

🎉 𝗛𝗡𝗡 𝘃𝟬.𝟲.𝟭 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! 🎉 The new v0.6.1 version has upgrades including running optimization inside the GUI, a major GUI visual refresh, support for new optimization solvers (CMA-ES) and objective functions, easier installation, accessibility improvements, and more.

Want to support HNN in a meaningful way? One of the most helpful things you can do is to fill out our brief, anonymous demographics survey! It helps us better understand our users and supports our grant reporting. forms.gle/r4MTQH1t7yZADh…

We will be at the SOBP conference this week! 🧠💭 Come see our exciting lineup of posters on psychiatric translational applications of HNN and similar mechanistic models. Presented by Nicholas Tolley, Darcy Waller, Stephanie R. Jones, David Zhou, and Pran Chanthrakumar.

🌟 New funding opportunity to collaborate with us! Do you have a question about the neural origin of your human EEG or MEG data? We have a tool that can help, and there is a new NIH grant mechanism to support collaboration with our team. Learn more: forms.gle/Xr7AynistjBJ8P…
