Arbor Workshop at the 1st EBRAINS Student Conference (10-13 March 2026)

We will be giving tutorial on Arbor at the 1st EBRAINS Student Conference on Interdisciplinary Brain Research in Nice (10-13 March 2026)

Conference

Abstract

Arbor is a library for simulating biophysically detailed neuron models on modern hardware. It comes with a friendly Python interface hiding its blazingly fast C++ core; scaling from laptops to at least 4000 GPUs. In this tutorial, we will show you the basics of designing detailed cell models, how to run them using Arbor, and how to grow them into larger networks. We will demonstrate how to create data driven models using the Allen Brain Atlas as an example. Arbor is free and open-source software, developed in the Human Brain Project and EBRAINS.
