The Helmholtz International BigBrain Analytics and Learning Laboratory (HIBALL) and Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives (HBHL) are teaming up to host an exciting training day in stunning Padua, Italy on September 9, 2024, in conjunction with the 8th BigBrain Workshop taking place September 10 and 11, 2024.
HIBALL is co-funded by HBHL and contributes to its mission through reinforced utilisation and co-development of the latest AI and high-performance computing (HPC) technologies for building highly detailed 3D brain models. This year's HBHL training day again is the perfect opportunity for researchers at all career stages to learn about big data analytics, human brain atlasing, and computational neuroscience in interactive plenaries and hands-on workshops. But that's not all! The event also provides a fantastic networking opportunity to connect with peers, researchers, and renowned experts.
We are thrilled to announce that Michael Hawrylycz (Allen Institute) will be delivering the keynote talk, making this event an even more inspiring and valuable experience for all attendees.
In response to participants request, we will once again have a NeuroAI session on Approaches to brain control, this time led by Michele Allegra (University of Padua). The session will be followed by a panel discussion about Integrating AI approaches for brain modelling.
The training day will offer stimulating hands-on sessions on a variety of open tools and services:
- The BigMac Dataset: combining multi-contrast MRI and microscopy in the macaque brain
- Sulcal morphometry for multiple subjects using BrainVisa / Morphologist
- BigBrain data processing with CBRAIN
- Making the multiscale organization of the human brain accessible to reproducible workflows using siibra-python
- Indirect network disconnection methods
- Introduction to the Allen Institute Single Cell Ecosystem
