The Human Brain Project (HBP) is one of the three FET (Future and Emerging Technology) Flagship projects. It is one of the largest research projects in the world. More than 500 scientists and engineers at over than 140 universities, teaching hospitals, and research centres across Europe come together to address one of the most challenging research targets – the human brain. To tame brain complexity, the project is building a research infrastructure to help advance neuroscience, medicine, computing and brain-inspired technologies - EBRAINS. The HBP is developing EBRAINS to create lasting research platforms that benefit the wider community. The project teams transfer the acquired knowledge to make an impact in health and innovation: insights from basic research are translated into medical applications, to prepare the ground for new diagnoses and therapies. Discoveries about learning and brain plasticity mechanisms are used to inspire technologic progress, e.g. in artificial intelligence. In addition, the project studies the ethical and societal implications of the advancement of neuroscience and related fields
