Courtois NeuroMod¶
The Courtois project on Neural Modelling (CNeuroMod) trains artificial neural networks on extensive experimental data of individual human brain activity and behaviour: six subjects scanned weekly for five years (2018-23) across controlled experiments, movies, stories, and video game play, mainly with fMRI plus physiological sensors and a smaller EEG subset. Data are freely shared with the scientific community — five of six subjects unrestricted, the full sample under registered access — funded by the Courtois foundation with support from the CIMAQ and PRISME consortia at the IUSMM.
