This session brings together expert voices from across the EBRAINS community and beyond. Discover the people sharing their insights, research, and perspectives on the topic.


Mario Senden is a computational neuroscientist whose research aims to bridge the gap between biophysically realistic brain simulation and functional, behavior-producing artificial intelligence. He develops next-generation models that incorporate biological constraints, such as connectome architectures and laminar microcircuits, while being trained end-to-end on complex tasks. The goal of this work is to create truly functional whole-brain models to understand how large-scale neural dynamics give rise to intelligent behavior.


Rainer Goebel is a German psychologist and neuroscientist, whose aim is a deeper understanding of how neuronal activity distributed in the brain leads to unified conscious precepts and mental images in our mind. He also develops innovative fMRI neurofeedback brain-computer interfaces where participants learn to regulate their own brain activity in emotion-specific brain regions with beneficial results for several psychiatric and neurological disorders To identify the basis of mental processes, he primarily uses high‐resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and brain-inspired neural network modelling.
