Software for science and research is inevitably as powerful as it is complex. Codemart's whole brain simulator The Virtual Brain (TVB) is no exception, looking a little bit overwhelming for new users.
That's why we're extremely happy about the result of our recent collaboration with our client, Charité's Brain Simulation Section, and our design partner two tribes:
The TVB EduPack
The TVB EduPack is a huge library of video lectures, teaching aspiring neuroscientists step-by-step how to build their first individual brain simulation – and demonstrating new high-level features for seasoned experts, like running TVB's fast C-version on the EBRAINS infrastructure.
Some lectures even come with a peer-reviewed neuroscience publication, datasets and Jupyter notebooks, allowing you to reproduce an entire research project – at home, on your own computer, at your pace!
Try it out!
Don't miss our Codemart science developers Paula and Mihai holding an introductory course for new TVB users!

Freshly painted: TVB's documentation
As a side quest, the TVB documentation website got a fresh paint, on par with the TVB main website. We also installed a dedicated Jupyter notebook viewer for TVB, so availability for students is way up!
