Building personalized brain network models with TVB
Spase Petkoski, Damien Depannemaecker and Pierpaolo Sorrentino
What can I find here?
This collab contains access to the notebooks and reading materials that will be used during the EBRAINS Baltic-Nordic summer school 2024 https://lsmu.lt/en/events/ebrains/.
The objective is to give to the participants an overview to building whole-brain network models with TVB. We will begin with the First steps of TVB, where we will describe the building blocks of TVB through the paradigm of resting state activity. This will be followed by Modelling Epilepsy, where seizure propagation will be modeled. Finally, there is one tutorial describing deeper analysis of BOLD monitors. These can all be found in the following EBRAINS lab:
Requirements
School participants should have EBRAINS accounts to be able to access and work on the tutorials.
They are also advised to install TVB locally in case of connection issues. After installation from the following link: https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei/brainsimulator-software users can access many more tutorials.
Other tutorials
In addition to these notebooks, we also refer to the readers to the collab for the Showcase 1 of HBP: "Degeneracy in neuroscience - when is Big Data big enough"
