About the Computational Neuroscience group

We focus on modeling electrical and magnetic fields in the brain based on the laws of physics and on simulation technology for brain-scale neuronal network models.

As partners of the EU Flagship Human Brain Project for the past decade, we have collaborated closely with over 100 partners across Europe to building EBRAINS, the European Brain Research Infrastructure.
