Team
We are Pushing the Boundaries of Brain Research
Our Work Culture
We are an interdisciplinary and international team of brain researchers, physicists, computer scientists, technicians, management and communications professionals. Together, we develop new methods and technologies to unravel the complexity of the human brain at multiple scales. This requires more and more high-performance computing and close cooperation between the neuroscience and computing communities across the world.
Our vision
We want to shed light on the organisational principles of the human brain and establish the atlas as an open tool for the community to drive advances in neuroscience, medicine and technology alike. The atlas serves as a basis to integrate multi-levels and multi-scale brain data into a common reference space. With the Julich Brain Atlas we want to brin brain mapping into the 21st century and replace historical maps of the brain's microstructure.
