With its associate membership, the Bernstein Network can participate in future discussions about the developments of EBRAINS. For the Bernstein Network members, a new platform for scientific exchange opens up and they may apply to make their own tools available through EBRAINS.

“Researchers in the Bernstein Network aim to understand computation in the brain and neural networks, from the molecular level to behavior. Such interdisciplinary endeavors require an adequate infrastructure. The membership in EBRAINS will open up novel collaboration opportunities for scientists in computational neuroscience, including access to tools for data acquisition, management and computing,” say Professor Susanne Schreiber (Chair of the Bernstein Network) and Professor Thomas Wachtler (Representing the Bernstein Network in EBRAINS).

“We are delighted to welcome Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience as an associate member at EBRAINS. The network, with its large community of computational neuroscientists, and several central sites across Germany, is an excellent platform for scientific exchange,” says Paweł Świeboda (CEO of EBRAINS).

About EBRAINS

EBRAINS is a new digital research infrastructure, created by the EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP), to foster brain-related research and to help translate the latest scientific discoveries into innovation in medicine and industry, for the benefit of patients and society. It draws on cutting-edge neuroscience and offers an extensive range of brain data sets, atlases, modelling and simulation tools, easy access to high-performance computing resources and to robotics and neuromorphic platforms. All academic researchers have open access to EBRAINS’ state-of-the art services. Industry researchers are also very welcome to use the platform under specific agreements.
