Romina Baila is a software engineer based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. She has been part of the TVB development team for the past 3 years, working on the brain simulator and making it more accessible for the researchers through the EBRAINS initiative. She has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, with both her theses focusing on NLP applications.
The Virtual Brain (TVB) - Architectural view over a modeling tool for full brain simulation. Focus session: How to Harness The Virtual Brain Capability.
The Virtual Brain (TVB) represents a framework for computing, simulating, and analyzing the human brain, providing innovative insights about its structural and functional components. Simulating our brains is no trivial task, but the TVB team has spent well over a decade researching this topic, aiming to help the neuroscience community in understanding and better treating complex neurological conditions, like epilepsy. Over the past years, the TVB project has grown into an entire ecosystem, consisting of multiple connected modules, which aim to facilitate the understanding of how our brain works for researchers, doctors and patients. In this presentation, we will delve into what it means to build a human brain simulator and we will take a look at the modules that constitute this tool. In the interactive focus session everyone will get to run, analyze and visualize their own brain simulations, getting a hands-on feeling of why TVB is such a powerful application in the neuroscience field.
