Balancing complexity and utility
What? The Virtual Brain will deliver the first open simulation of the human brain based on individual large-scale connectivity. Within the next 5 years, running on comparably tame hardware and right in your browser!
How? By employing novel concepts from neuroscience, effectively reducing the complexity of the brain simulation while still keeping it sufficiently realistic.
