Understanding the human brain is a "Grand Challenge" for 21st century research. Computational approaches enable large and complex datasets to be addressed efficiently, supported by artificial neural networks, modeling simulation. Dynamic generative multiscale models, which investigation of causation across scales are guided principles theories function, instrumental linking structure function. An example resource enabling such an integrated approach neuroscientific discovery BigBrain,...
Abstract In recent years, brain research has indisputably entered a new epoch, driven by substantial methodological advances and digitally enabled data integration modelling at multiple scales—from molecules to the whole brain. Major are emerging intersection of neuroscience with technology computing. This science combines high-quality research, across scales, culture multidisciplinary large-scale collaboration, translation into applications. As pioneered in Europe’s Human Brain Project...
Drawing on more than eight years working to implement Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the Human Brain Project, a large EU-funded research project that brings together neuroscience, computing, social sciences, humanities, one of largest investments RRI project, this article offers insights explores its possible future. We focus question how can have long-lasting impact persist beyond time horizon funded projects. For purpose, we suggest concept 'responsibility by design' which is...
This article explores whether and in what way it is possible to employ toolkits for responsible research innovation (RRI toolkits) as mechanisms ensuring the legacy of RRI projects. Based on a review concept well existing area, offers an account development toolkit context EU- funded Human Brain Project. designed integrate insights practices developed over 10 year period into project legacy, EBRAINS infrastructure. The suggests that have potential contribute long- lasting work undertaken...
Abstract This article concerns the transformative potential of medical genomics for common disease research. We analysed 13 review articles in asthma research period 1999 to 2008. Our aim was understand how has emerged this field, and attendant changes. Motivated by Lippman’s geneticisation thesis, we use concept an ‘innovation journey’ trace expectations improved understanding, prevention, diagnosis treatment structure a dynamic co‐evolutionary process through which genome‐based discourse...
With “Horizon Europe”, the European Commission sets out framework for research and innovation in Europe over next seven years. The proposal outlines contours of an innovative science policy that is open responsive to societal needs, where actors jointly undertake missions discover sustainable solutions present-day future challenges. In our commentary we point a number modifications needed strengthen cross-cutting implementation activities engagement responsible innovation.
