Description
The Human Brain Project (HBP) aims to put in place an ICT-based scientific research infrastructure that will allow researchers to improve our understanding of the human brain through data-driven modelling and whole-brain simulation. Advanced computing technologies enable HBP researchers to study models that were unmanageable until recently.
This talks focuses on computational and modelling aspects of mesoscale brain synthesis, and puts them in the context of some of the HBP ICT platforms, namely the Neuroinformatics Platform, the Brain Simulation Platform, and the High Performance Analytics and Computing Platform.
