3 3  To use the Neuromorphic computing platform (SpiNNaker and BrainScaleS machines, free of charge for tests and for accepted research projects):
4 4  
5 -1. [[Get an EBRAINS account>>https://ebrains.eu/register/]] (free of charge). Use the "Register today" link (near the bottom) on the registration page.
6 -1. EITHER:
7 -11. Send an email to [[neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu>>path:mailto:neuromorphic%40humanbrainproject.eu]] stating your EBRAINS account username
8 -11. We will create a Collab for you, free of charge and complete with test quota and a few examples.
9 -Only for large 'production runs' another quota request is needed via the "Job Manager" in your collab (upper right hand corner in the JobManager: "Quota").
10 -1. OR, if you do not need the copied-in example notebooks or would like to fetch them yourself :
11 -11. create a new Collab for yourself:
12 -111. go to [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/]] and click the "Log-in" link in the upper right hand corner, log in with your new EBRAINS account
13 -111. Click the "Collabs" link in the menu bar at the top of the window
14 -111. Click the "Create a collab" green button and create a private Collab for yourself. The process re-directs you into the new Collab.
15 -111. In your new Collab click the "Lab" link in the left hand menu
16 -111. Select any of the "Lab Execution Site" offered, then select the "Official EBRAINS Docker image", click start. (Click "Launch Server", if you get "Server not running")
17 -111. This will start a Jupyter Lab session (the "Lab") for you.
18 -111. Start a "Terminal" via the icon in the "Launcher window" shown. This opens a terminal in the "/mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB/" directory. This is a location on the EBRAINS "Drive". Files stored in this location are stored persistently= will still be there, when you open your Collab again some days later 
19 -(Note: If you use "File" > "New" > "Terminal" the opened terminal is in the directory "/opt/app-root/src". This location only exists while the Jupyter ("Lab") session is running and will be gone, when a new Lab session is started. Do not use this location, if you want to keep the files. To change into the persistent directory type "cd /mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB" (without the " and the name of your your Collab instead of NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB)
20 -111. fetch the files you would like to work with.
21 -E.g. for the BrainScaleS-2 interactive notebooks use: 
22 -//git clone https:~/~/github.com/electronicvisions/brainscales2-demos.git ~-~-branch jupyter-notebooks-experimental//
23 -1. Run your own neuromorphic simulations/emulations interactively via Jupyter notebook (link "LAB" in your Collab) directly in your browser (or via the "Job Manager" link in your new collab) using your own [[PyNN>>url:http://neuralensemble.org/PyNN/]] described network and your own input data
5 +1. [[Get an EBRAINS account>>https://ebrains.eu/register/]] (free of charge)
