mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06EBRAINS is a research infrastructure providing tools and services which can be used to address challenges in brain research and brain-inspired technology development. Its components are designed with, by, and for researchers. The tools assist scientists to collect, analyse, share, and integrate brain data, and to perform modelling and simulation of brain function. EBRAINS’ goal is to accelerate the effort to understand human brain function and disease. Login on www.ebrains.eu
An EBRAINS Workshop will take place next week on 23 April at the NEURONUS & Young PTBUN Neuroscience Forum in Kraków!
The workshop will outline how EBRAINS assists users in designing, integrating, and deploying scientific workflows, illustrated by real-world use cases and examples. This approach encourages collaboration between tool developers and scientists to co-design solutions for reproducible deployment.

A new study published in npj Parkinson’s Disease suggests that simple, non-invasive brain recordings may help forecast how motor symptoms will evolve in people with Parkinson’s disease.
The baseline MEG dataset from the study is available through the EBRAINS platform as the NatMEG-PD BIDS dataset, contributing to open science by supporting data sharing and reuse in Parkinson’s disease research.

In a new study, a team of researchers at the Gdansk University of Technology in Poland looked at how fast brainwaves occur across different brain areas during stages of memory processing.
The human brain local field potential recordings during a battery of multilingual cognitive and eye-tracking tasks data used in this study are available on the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph.
Since Monday, a team from Forschungszentrum Jülich has been presenting the Julich Brain Atlas and the digital research infrastructure EBRAINS at the Hannover Messe 2026.
The Hannover Messe is an ideal opportunity to make research visible to industry and policymakers and to initiate collaborations with partners from business and industry. This year, around 3,500 exhibitors, more than 300 start-ups, and over 120,000 visitors are expected.

Their innovative approach, which combines advanced neuroscience, modelling, AI, and high-performance computing, could pave the way for more effective, tailored therapies for one of the world’s most challenging mental health conditions.
🧠 Neuromodulators like dopamine reshape how neurons behave - but how exactly?
We asked Dr Ilaria Carannante (euroPSI, @Université Paris-Saclay, Institute of Neuroscience). Her new study shows it comes down to just 2 mechanisms: 🔁 switching 📊 scaling.
A unified framework. An open-source pipeline. A step toward more powerful brain models.
