In the scope of the EBRAINS 2.0 project, a new Open Call ‘Integrating vascular architecture into the EBRAINS Human Brain Atlas’ has just opened this morning.
This call seeks to engage the scientific and research community to integrate models of the brain vascular tree with the human brain atlas in EBRAINS. We encourage submissions that bring in 3D reconstructions of the vessel tree from vascular images which can be spatially aligned to one of the reference template spaces provided by EBRAINS, to combine them with the structural and functional parcellations in EBRAINS, and link them to other findings such as structural and functional neuroimaging, cytoarchitectonics or molecular data. With the integration we aim to enhance the usability and accessibility of the vasculature models for neuroscientific studies, and further increase the clinical relevance of EBRAINS human brain atlas. The call focuses on integrating existing data with EBRAINS and does not support new data acquisitions. However, incoming datasets might require additional curation effort and adaptation of the metadata to be compatible with the existing infrastructure, and might have to be adapted in collaboration with the EBRAINS consortium partner.
Please find the documents here.
The call documents have been published on the EBRAINS website and the EU Funding & Tenders Portal at 10:00 CEST this morning.
