Abstract: The Human Brain Project (HBP) is one of two European flagship projects with a 10-year horizon. It aims to contribute to an integrated understanding of the human brain by providing a European brain research infrastructure that is intended for both neuroscience and neuro-inspired research as well as intense data sharing and collaboration on one of the most demanding scientific challenges of the 21st century. The human brain is an exceptional organ—it is the basis of our cognition, emotion, ability to act, language, memory, consciousness, and self-consciousness. Furthermore, due to its complexity, knowledge of the brain requires an integrative, multimodal, and multiscale approach—from signal molecules and genes, neuronal and glial cells, and microcircuits up to large networks with numerous, interconnected brain regions. The fact that approximately 86 billion nerve cells, each with approximately 10,000 synapses, interact in a dynamic manner with each other illustrates the challenge that the project faces.
