Abstract
The Human Brain Project (HBP) is entering a new operational phase that seeks to improve understanding of the human brain and to emulate its computational capabilities. HBP's extensive research plan will be organized into sub-projects regulated by biennial Specific Grant Agreements. IBF's senior scientist Dr. Michele Migliore will lead investigation in the development of a brain simulation platform.

IBF's participation mainly centres on designing, implementing and operating the HBP Brain Simulation Platform, which will be accessible to users via the Collaboratory Portal. The Brain Simulation Platform will consist of a collection of Apps, APIs and Platform Foundation Software, which supports productive collaborations to build, simulate, analyse, validate and disseminate data-driven brain models. Part of the activity will include a pilot project, which will develop and test strategies for fostering community convergence through data-driven reconstruction and simulation of the mouse hippocampus, providing feedback for the design of the Collaboratory Portal, and of community collaboration tools.
