The project aims to develop a decentralized, data protection-compliant research platform capable of simulating some of the brain’s complex neurobiological phenomena. As part of the project, researchers will collate various types of information, including data from PET and MRI scans, EEG tests, behavioral studies, lifestyle surveys, and clinical data from many patients (>1000) and healthy controls. These will be combined with biological information from knowledge databases and made available for research. The resultant digital »brain twins« will enable many researchers to conduct innovative research within a powerful digital infrastructure.

Furthermore, complex, personalized brain simulations that consider large quantities of data may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying brain function and disorders. Virtual brain modeling may also improve diagnostics and disease prediction and optimize treatment plans. The project consortium comprises 20 partners and cooperates with EBRAINS AISBL, the EU-funded flagship »Human Brain Project« coordinating entity.

eBrain-Health is funded by the European Commission for four years, from July 2022 until June 2026.
