Everything about Brain simulation
Creating a computer model of all or part of a brain
In the field of computational neuroscience, brain simulation is the concept of creating a functioning computer model of a brain or part of a brain. Brain simulation projects intend to contribute to a complete understanding of the brain, and eventually also assist the process of treating and diagnosing brain diseases. Simulations utilize mathematical models of biological neurons, such as the Hodgkin-Huxley model, to simulate the behavior of neurons, or other cells within the brain. Wikipedia →
