<div class="">We would like to invite interested students and
researchers to the upcoming <b class="">The Virtual Brain Node 5
</b>workshop, Marseille, France, 15th - 16th May 2017.<br class="">
<br class="">
The workshop is dedicated to a theoretical and hands-on
understanding of large-scale brain network modeling using the open
source neuroinformatics platform The Virtual Brain (TVB). For the
first time this workshop will be held over 2 days and will go more
in depth regarding the hands-on modeling sessions along explicit
use cases from resting state studies and clinical applications to
epilepsy and stroke. Also for the first time we will offer
in-depth training of fitting virtual brain models to human imaging
data. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">The Virtual Brain simulation environment enables the
biologically realistic modeling of network dynamics using
connectome-based approaches across different brain scales.
Personalized brain network models can be derived from an
individual’s MRI data. Configurable brain network models generate
macroscopic neuroimaging signals including functional MRI,
intracranial and stereotactic EEG, surface EEG and MEG for single
subjects. TVB 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. </div>

<b class="">Workshop format:</b> lectures and hands-on tutorials.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own data to work on.<br
