GUI tutorials – Getting Started

Level: beginner  Type: user documentation

This tutorial presents the basic steps to upload a project, and share data with other users and/or link data to other TVB projects. After this tutorial you should be able to import a new dataset, create, import, export and delete a project and share your data with among your projects or with a colleague

My first simulation with The Virtual Brain

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

This presentation by Paul Triebkorn is part of the TVB Node 10 series, a 4 day workshop dedicated to learning about The Virtual Brain, brain imaging. brain simulation. personalised brain models, TVB use cases, etc.

Population Models in The Virtual Brain (TVB) and the Phase Plane

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

This presentation by Dr. Michael Schirner is part of the TVB Node 10 series, a 4 day workshop dedicated to learning about The Virtual Brain, brain imaging. brain simulation. personalised brain models, TVB use cases, etc.

GUI tutorials – Building Your Own Brain Network Model

Level: beginner  Type: user documentation

This tutorial presents the basic anatomy of a brain network model at the region level using The Virtual Brain’s (TVB’s) graphical interface. You are not expected to launch all the simulations.

We will be using the Default Project that should be imported when you start TVB. We’ll only go through the necessary steps required to reproduce some simulations. You can always start over, click along and/or try to change parameters.

Advanced

The Bayesian Virtual Epileptic Patient (BVEP)

Level: advanced  Type: video tutorial

Meysam Hashemi in his tutorial touches upon bayesian model inversion, BVEP workflow, Jupyter notebook examples, Python & Stan interfaces, PyMC3 example and comparing Stan & PyMC3 accuracy.

GUI tutorials – Modeling Epilepsy

Level: advanced  Type: -

The main goal of this tutorial is to provide a clear understanding of how we can reproduce clinically relevant senarios such as the modelisation of propagation of an epileptic seizure in the human brain, electrical stimulation of a brain region that can trigger a seizure, or surgical resection of brain regions.

We will be using the ModelingEpilepsy project. We’ll only go through the necessary steps required to reproduce these simulations, along with the relevant outline. You can always start over, click along and/or try to change parameters. We will use the default subject connectivity matrix and surface.

GUI tutorials – Resting State Networks

Level: advanced  Type: user documentation

This tutorial will demonstrate a brain network model approach to the human resting state and its network structure, with the goals of understanding how to parametrize a neural mass model, place it in a network context, identify and explore the relevant parameter space, perform extended simulations in the realistic region of parameter space and finally analyze the resulting simulated fMRI BOLD signals to reproduce experimental results published in the resting state literature.

Integrated workflows: Image processing pipeline

Level: advanced  Type: video tutorial

Michael Schirner in this tutorial is going over the TVB processing pipelines with KG annotated outputs, the Software architecture, the Pipeline APIs, the Software maturity, integration, testing, versioning & deployment as well as the MINDS format, the Computing and Security requirements.
