PRIORITY CLAIM
[0001] This application claims priority to US provisional application U.S. 61 / 678,950, which is fully incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to a method and apparatus for simulating brain function. In particular, this invention relates to a system that simulates brain function by integrating brain models with measured neuroimaging data.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Brain function is thought to emerge from the interactions of large numbers of neurons. One aspect of difficulty in the research of brain function is the inability to directly observe brain dynamics. It would be useful to provide an abstract mathematical model of modelled brain dynamics that exhibit a lower complexity than actual brain dynamics. Such a model may be limited to only a few selected aspects of brain dynamics that are of interest. Further model complexity or detail may be added to the model to alter a different range of modelled brain dynamics. Clinic...
