The Virtual Brain
The Virtual Brain (TVB) offers software for constructing, simulating and analysing brain network models including the TVB simulator; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) processing pipelines to extract structural and functional brain networks; combined simulation of large-scale brain networks with small-scale spiking networks; automatic conversion of user-specified model equations into fast simulation code; simulation-ready brain models of patients and healthy volunteers; Bayesian parameter optimization in epilepsy patient models; data and software for mouse brain simulation; and extensive educational material ([Sanz_Leon_2013], [Schirner_2022]).

The Virtual Brain on the HIP
The Virtual Brain app on the HIP relies on Jupyter notebooks. Starting the app will actually starts JupyterLab Desktop, a cross-platform desktop application for JupyterLab. For additional information regarding Jupyter notebooks, please consult the official documentation.
