The Virtual Brain (TVB)

An in silico platform for neuro-imaging data analysis using personalized models of brain activity

The Virtual Brain (TVB) is a neuroinformatics platform which enables researchers to simulate in silico brain activity, based on an individual’s neuroimaging data. Structural data such as the brain structure and connectivity is loaded, a model is configured and TVB then produces simulated functional neuroimaging data such as EEG or fMRI, which can be compared with the data acquired for the individual. This comparison allows interpreting key features of the data in terms of model parameters, allowing researchers to test hypothetical mechanisms underwriting brain activity. The models can be further integrated with many machine learning approaches to tackle novel challenges and large datasets.

Training

You are looking for a platform to train one or more staff on a particular technique or equipment?

In the context of scientific collaboration, the platform is open and available for hands-on training activities. It is usually expected that the trainee has a specific research application in mind and can bring relevant data to bear on the application. The training can take the form of online collaboration via TVB specific channels (mailing list https://groups.google.com/g/tvb-users), the TVB Facility Hub on the EBRAINS platform (https://www.ebrains.eu/tools/the-virtual-brain) or for more hands-on training, a visit in the lab.
