11 11  This is a Jupyter Lab extension that offers graphical support for TVB workflows. It is already available in the EBRAINS Lab and it allows users to configure and execute TVB simulations directly from a GUI, while drastically reducing the complexity of configuring them inside a Jupyter Lab notebook.
