[EN] NextBrain: exploring the human brain - Eugenio Iglesias, James Hughes

About this episode

This episode explores the NextBrain project, its evolution using AI, and its applications in education and research.

English Edition: NextBrain is a next generation atlas of the human brain. Juan Eugenio Iglesias Gonzales from Massachusetts General in Boston, US, has been leading this project. My colleague James Hughes (University College London) and I were working on part of it at the time. And in this episode we explore, once again, what NextBrain is, how it evolved using AI tools in a shifting technology landscape and how it can be used in education and research.
