DESCRIPTION:The Virtual Brain\n\nRandy McIntosh\n\nSenior Scientist at the 
 Rotman Research Institute and a Professor of Psychology at the University 
 of Toronto\n\nDr McIntosh’s work links cognitive and theoretical neuroscie
 nce by emphasizing how network operations give rise to human mental proces
 ses.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe Virtual Brain (TVB: thevirtualbrain.org) is a simu
 lation platform that can be run on any laptop but is also scalable to High
 -Performance Computing clusters. It has over 18\,000 downloads worldwide. 
 TVB is an open-source platform that can integrate neuroimaging data to cre
 ate large-scale models of the brain. The initial applications demonstrated
  how the intersection of brain connectomics and noise could explain intrin
 sic network dynamics that are characteristic of “resting-state networks”\,
  and that the intersection sets an optimal working point for cognition. Su
 bsequent work focused on clinical extensions\, one showing how personalize
 d models in stroke could predict responses to therapy and a second showing
  the added predictive power of personalized models in Alzheimer’s dementia
 . Extensions of TVB have also been central to guiding interventions in epi
 lepsy. Finally\, the flexibility of the informatics architecture makes TVB
  an ideal integrative platform for animal models and human work\, with rec
 ent TVB versions designed for rodent and non-human primate data.\n\nAbout 
 the speaker\n\nDr Randy McIntosh is a Senior Scientist at the Rotman Resea
 rch Institute and a Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto. 
 He helped secured the initial investment to bring together computational\,
  cognitive and clinical neuroscientists to establish The Virtual Brain.\n
