Human Brain ProjectUnify our understanding of the human brain

Novel experimental techniques enable the quantitativeexploration of the system architecture of the Brain.Large-scale simulations are moving to the status ofpredictive models of the Brain behavior. Indeed,Computational Neuroscience is an emerging quantitativediscipline: it brings together experimental results,numerical simulations and theoretical models of theBrain, at different levels of abstraction. The translationalchallenge is to improve the therapies of brain diseasesand trauma. In Europe the yearly cost of brain disordersand trauma is estimated at 798 billion€/year (increasing,due to population aging). Therefore, the EU Commissionlaunched the Human Brain Project (HBP) flagship projectfunded with approximately 90M€/year until 2023. INFNwill enter the HBP project in April 2016, leading theWaveScalES team. We will observe the cortical slowwave activity and the cortical response to localizedimpulses and we will attempt to match experimentalobservation with large scale simulations of corticalactivity.
