BrainGenix: Accelerating WBE Research and Clinical Neuroscience¶
BrainGenix is an open-source project focused on advancing whole brain emulation (WBE) research and clinical neuroscience. Its core mission is to provide a modular, reproducible stack that researchers can use on their own hardware. All code is open-source and freely available under the AGPL-3.0 license, promoting fairness and accessibility.
Key Components & GitLab Locations¶
The BrainGenix platform consists of several key components, each with a specific purpose. All repositories are public, licensed under AGPL-3.0, and include documentation, and example workflows.
