Are you an EPFL student looking for a semester project?
Work with us on data science and visualisation projects, and deploy your project as an app on top of GraphSearch.
The Laboratory for the Neural Basis of Brain States (LNBBS) is a part of the EPFL Blue Brain Project, focusing on understanding cortical and thalamocortical structure and function in relation to brain states like wakefulness, sleep, and anesthesia. Directed by Prof. Sean Hill, the group utilizes biophysically-detailed computational models and large-scale simulations to investigate cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying brain states in health and disease. Prof. Hill, also based in Toronto, leads the Neuroinformatics team at EPFL Blue Brain Project, providing informatics infrastructure for neuroscience data analysis. The lab's expertise lies in large-scale simulation, neuroinformatics, microcircuitry, brain atlases, and more.
