Offer DescriptionThe aim of the VIRTUAL BRAIN TWIN and EBRAINS2.0 projects is to develop a modelling platform for the personalised treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to create a workflow in the Python environment that integrates the existing functionalities of the TVB simulator (The Virtual Brain) with new routines for multiscale simulation (neural masses, spiking neural networks, mean field models) thanks to the co-simulation with other simulators (NEST and BSB4). In addition, TVB must be compatible with multimodal data (e.g., MRI, EEG). In this way, different hypotheses on the dysfunctional mechanisms of brain circuits will be tested and personalized models will be developed in individual patients (Brain Digital Twins). The new workflow will make it possible to introduce circuit and connectivity changes typical of brain pathologies and should be easily usable in the European EBRAINS platform.RequirementsAdditional InformationEligibility criteriaThe public call with detailed attendance and selection rules (Art 4 and 6) can be found at:
