    TVB is now part of the HBP toolset!

    If you have a HBP account, you can now simulate The Virtual Brain here right from HBP Collab Jupyter notebooks!

    To get a quick start on simulating with TVB on the HBP platforms simply create a new Collab, visit the [TVB Simulator Collab](

    • TVB-NEST multi-scale simulations

    Neural simulators typically fall into one of two categories:

    • On the one hand there are microscopic scale simulators like NEST, Neuron, and Brain, which simulate dynamics and interaction between individual neurons (or neuron compartments) and neuron networks.

    • On the other hand there are larger-scale simulators, like TVB, that use so-called neural mass or neural field models, whic
