Get up to speed about the fundamental principles of full brain network modeling using the open-source neuroinformatics platform
The Virtual Brain (TVB) at our 2-day workshop, August 7-8, 2018
TVB NODE#7 is an official satellite event to

TVB enables biologically realistic modeling of network dynamics using Connectome-based approaches across different brain scales.
Generate macroscopic neuroimaging signals including fMRI, intracranial and stereotactic EEG, surface EEG and MEG for single subjects.
Personalized brain network models can be derived from an individual’s MRI data.
Researchers from different backgrounds can benefit from an integrative software platform including a supporting framework for data management (generation, organization, storage, integration and sharing) and a simulation core written in Python. Applications to use cases in the healthy and diseased brain are also presented.
LOCATION
PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
- A generative model of the brain; describing the building blocks of a brain network model
- Interacting with TVB; working with the web UI, command line and scripting interfaces
- Constructing personalized models from empirical data; learn how to take your own data and model it within the framework of TVB.
- Brain stimulation in TVB
- Clinical applications of TVB
- Hands-on session; using the GUI and demo scripts to simulate epilepsy, stroke, neurodegenerative disease, brain stimulation and a mouse model
After the workshop you should have a basic picture of how these models are built, how they work, and what biological properties of a neural system they represent. In addition, we will highlight several research topics that can be explored using this tool.
The workshop is organized with interleaved oral presentation and hands-on sessions. Attendants will have the time to ask questions. The hands-on sessions will let you immediately apply the concepts from the lectures to your simulations in TVB.
