we will explain the fundamental principles of full brain network modelling
using the open source neuroinformatics platform <i>The Virtual Brain (TVB)</i>. This simulation environment enables the
biologically realistic modelling of network dynamics using Connectome-based
approaches across different brain scales. Configurable brain network models
generate macroscopic neuroimaging signals including functional MRI (fMRI),
intracranial and stereotactic EEG, surface EEG and MEG for single subjects.
Researchers from different backgrounds can benefit from an integrative software
platform including a supporting framework for data management (generation,
organization, storage, integration and sharing) and a simulation core written
in Python. The architecture of TVB
supports interaction with MATLAB packages, for example, the well-known Brain
Connectivity Toolbox.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><u><span lang="EN-GB">Workshop goals:</span></u></b><span lang="EN-GB"> to
