HBP TRAINING COURSE ON
THE BRAIN SIMULATION PLATFORM OF THE HUMAN BRAIN PROJECT
Biomedicum Helsinki, 7-8 October 2019
This short course will introduce the students to the Brain Simulation Platform (BSP) of the Human Brain Project (HBP), with the main aim to extend its access to the average user from a variety of communities in the eld of Computational Neuroscience. After the course, students will have a deeper understanding on the techniques and the scienti c issues underlying the implementation of a detailed computational model; students will also be able to use the BSP and access HPC systems to con gure and run a simulation, to visualise and analyse simulation results, and to form collaborative groups interested in exploring scienti c issues of common interest.

- Basic knowledge of neuronal electrophysiology
- Interest in neural modelling
(a basic knowledge of the NEURON simulator is advisable but not required) - Interest in using Python programming
