More than a 100 research institutes from various disciplines all over Europe cooperate intensively to achieve a multi-level, integrated understanding of brain structure and function through the development and use of information and communication technologies (ICT). <br class=""><br class="">The project will run for about 10 years and during this time six ICT platforms will be developed. The Neurorobotics Platform (NRP) is a web-based platform for the design and performance of neurorobotics experiments, and is built under the direction of Prof. Alois Knoll. It grants neuroscientists easy access to state-of-the-art simulators: spiking neural networks, robotics and physics. These simulators are connected together and coordinated within a closed loop. They run on high performance computing resources and on neuromorphic hardware. The NRP also provides tools to create neurorobotics experiments, namely designers for the creation of brain-body interfaces, virtual worlds and robot models.
