Barcelona COMputational Foundation (BCOM) is a visionary non-profit research institute dedicated to understanding and recreating life, brains, and minds as fundamentally computational phenomena. We stand at a critical convergence of disciplines. Brains and experience cannot be studied in isolation. To truly understand them, we must bridge the fragmentation between philosophy, physics, neuroscience, biology, and AI.

The Scientific Stack. Our research is structured like a pyramid—a layered stack that allows us to translate answers upward. By connecting foundations (Philosophy, Mathematics) to complex systems (Brains, Societies, Ecosystems), we aim to provide the means for better lives and societies—whether biological, hybrid, or synthetic.

Leadership. Headquartered in Barcelona, BCOM connects academia, clinics, and industry. Guided by world-class leaders in computational neuroscience, physics, and complex systems, we are pioneering a new era of open, translational science.
