The SenseLab Project is a long-term effort to build integrated, multidisciplinary
models of neurons and neural systems. It was founded in 1993 as part of the original
Human Brain Project, which began the development of neuroinformatics tools in support
of neuroscience research. It is now part of the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF)
and the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). The SenseLab project
involves novel informatics approaches to constructing databases and database tools for
collecting and analyzing neuroscience information, using the olfactory system as a model,
with extension to other brain systems.
