Open computational neuroscience

From equations to verifiable neural dynamics.

Next Brain connects Brian2 models to Rust, GPU, browser and distributed execution—then uses that stack to ask which neural details must remain explicit.

Independent applications

Two ways to enter the research.

Each application opens on its own route with its own runtime and assets—never inside an iframe.

Research map

One stack.
Four connected questions.

We organise the work by scientific question—not by repository, backend or demo.

01

Current foundation

Execute faithfully

How can researcher-authored equations become inspectable execution plans with reproducible results across runtimes?

02

Current frontier

Scale responsibly

How far can models travel across local GPUs, browsers and clusters without losing model identity, provenance or resource bounds?

03

Active research

Compress what we can

Which local dynamics can proxy states and procedural connectivity replace—and which motifs must remain explicit?

04

Exploratory

Explain what emerges

Can perception, adaptation and safety behaviour be isolated through interventions that separate capability from mechanism?

Neural Lab · browser sample

Don’t just read the claim.
Run a bounded experiment.

Adjust excitability and execute a deterministic 64-cell leaky integrate-and-fire network locally. This compact JavaScript sample demonstrates the public interface; research experiments use the verified WASM execution path.

Evidence ledger

What we know.
What remains open.

Every public claim should carry its model identity, code version, environment, result and boundary.

ProgrammeCurrent evidenceBoundary / next test
Engineering verifiedRuntime substrate

A shared model identity now reaches native Rust, GPU, browser and MPI execution paths.

Broader model compatibility and independent replication remain open.

Boundary explicitMulti-area model

Full-scale 4.13M-neuron / 24.1B-synapse bounded engineering runs have completed.

Scientific equivalence, repeatability and speed / cost advantage are not yet closed.

Scientific evidenceFlyWire vision

A fixed real-connectome network carries task information readable by an external classifier.

Matched random rewiring, multiple full seeds and internal plasticity are still needed.

Boundary foundApproximate dynamics

Richer proxies and selective retention expose a measurable fidelity–cost frontier.

The E1 plateau and 393 Hz artefact motivate stateful proxies and automatic motif selection.

Long-term blueprint

The roadmap is a sequence of testable questions—not a promise of inevitable scale.
