The third HIBALL Winter School is scheduled to take place on March 11 and March 12, 2024. This event offers a series of tutorials covering various aspects of working with the BigBrain and other related datasets and tools. The Winter School will be organised as a hybrid meeting, with physical meetings in both Jülich and Montreal interconnected via an interactive live stream. As there is a time difference between the two cities, the school is organised over two half days. We cordially invite all those who already work with or are interested in working with the BigBrain to participate in this educational event.
The BigBrain model has become an important tool for brain mapping, enabling studies and the integration of multimodal data into an anatomically realistic standard space at microscopic resolution. In a joint effort, researchers from McGill University in Montreal and the Forschungszentrum Jülich used 7404 digitised histological sections and developed the BigBrain as a high-resolution 3D model of the human brain (Amunts et al., Science 2013). HIBALL builds on this cross-continental cooperation and now aims to develop the next-generation high-resolution human brain models with the help of state-of-the-art machine learning methods and high-performance computing infrastructures.
With the teaching events of the BigBrain Project, we reach out to the thriving community of users and developers which has emerged around the BigBrain. We particularly invite early career researchers to join the discussion and become part of the BigBrain community.
The event is free, but registration is mandatory. Please note that it is foreseen to join one of the physical meetings in Jülich or Montreal. Virtual participation is possible upon request, but remote support might be limited.
Please register by 4 March 2024 at the latest.
