To enable collaboration, we build a transcontinental data sharing and computing platform in close interaction with the European "Human Brain Project" and the Canadian “Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives” program. We aim to extend this model by further increasing its resolution and integrating multimodal data, working closely with the neuroimaging, brain modelling, and AI communities to unleash its potential for research. 2013), we believe that there will be improvement in the precision and quality of neuroimaging support for qualitative and quantitative investigation of the brain. With the advent of the BigBrain - a human post-mortem brain that has been sectioned, stained for cell bodies, scanned at very high resolution, and then digitally reconstructed in 3D (Amunts, Evans et al. Currently established computer-based 3D neuroimaging tools cannot reproduce the anatomical details available from freshly cut brains, particularly for very convoluted cortical regions and in the subcortical areas. Researchers in brain simulation and AI have a growing need for detailed descriptions of the internal organisation of brain regions in terms of local morphology, cell densities, or connectivity. Neuroimaging methods rely on accurate brain models as ground truth to develop reliable approaches for probing the brain.
