August 9th, 2022

TVB-multiscale JupyterHub apps are now deprecated! See: https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/the-virtual-brain-multiscale/ about how to run TVB-multiscale (TVB-NEST, TVB-NetPyNE (NEURON), TVB-ANNarchy) on EBRAINS!

What can I find here?

• Presentation slides from the course's lecture.
• Materials recommended for further study
• Guid to run the notebook TVB-NEST co-simulation demonstrated in the course.

Recommendation for self-study

• TVB advanced tutorials

Guide to run the course's notebook

1. Run the EBRAINS TVB-Multiscale app by browsing to https://tvb-multiscale.apps.hbp.eu/ and logging in with your EBRAINS account. (The first time you log-in, you might need to try several times by refreshing the page, until it works for you!)
2. Navigate to "TVB-Multiscale-Examples/documented_example_notebooks" folder, and upload the WilsonCowan.ipynb notebook, to the "Contributed-Notebooks" folder, which offers user-specific persistent storage.
3. Run the WilsonCowan.ipynb notebook.
