Additionally, workflows, models, and simulations developed within the consortium will be tested and validated by external partners to strengthen use cases and scientific excellence.
OC1: Integrating Spatial Omics Data into the EBRAINS Human Brain Atlas
OC2: Clinical Neuroscience
OC3: Promoting the neuroscientific use of EBRAINS 2.0 digital brain twins and simulation services
