In 2012, the Human Brain Project summarised its goal:
“The Human Brain Project should lay the technical foundation for a new model of ICT-based brain research, driving integration between data and knowledge from different disciplines, and catalysing a community effort to achieve a new understanding of the brain, new treatments for brain disease and new brain-like computing technologies.”
After ten years of intensive, impactful, interdisciplinary work by hundreds of researchers across Europe and beyond, the HBP has delivered.

Focus Areas
Connectivity and dysconnectivity
Developing personalised network models and relevant clinical applications to better understand brain behaviour.
Discover moreConsciousness and Cognition
Developing a multi-scale understanding of physiological, drug-induced, and pathological brain states and how they can support consciousness and cognition.
Discover moreBrain-inspired cognitive architectures
Improving our understanding of how brain networks enable visuo-motor and cognitive functions, such as dexterous manipulation, spatial navigation, and relational reasoning.
Discover moreData and Knowledge
The EBRAINS Data and Knowledge Services increase the efficiency and productivity in research by making data discoverable and reusable.
Discover moreAccess to Atlas Tools and Services
Brain atlases provide spatial reference systems for neuroscience that allow navigation, characterisation and analysis of information based on anatomical location.
Learn MoreSimulations
Integrated workflows for model creation, simulation and validation, data analysis and visualization, covering and connecting the different levels of description ranging from molecular and subcellular, to cellular, network and whole brain level.
Discover moreMedical Data Analytics
Helping clinicians, clinical scientists, and clinical data scientists who aim to adopt advanced analytics for diagnosis and research in clinics.
Discover moreThe Neurorobotics Platform
The service for embodied simulation developed by the Human Brain Project, now offered by EBRAINS.
Learn moreComputing and Storage
The High-Performance Computing, Cloud Computing, Storage and Network Services of the Fenix infrastructure are integrated in EBRAINS. They are complemented by additional services, e.g., for data transfer and infrastructure monitoring.
