Human Brain Project

To understand how our brain works, there is no getting around investigating how different brain regions are connected with each other by nerve fibres.

In the most recent issue of Science Magazine, researchers of the Human Brain Project review the current state of the field, provide insights on how the brain’s connectome is structured on different spatial scales – from the molecular and cellular to the macro level – and evaluate existing methods and future requirements for understanding the connectome’s complex organisation.

Human Brain Project researchers have trained a large-scale model of the primary visual cortex of the mouse to solve visual tasks in a highly robust way. The model provides the basis for a new generation of neural network models.

Due to their versatility and energy-efficient processing, these models can contribute to advances in neuromorphic computing.
