The Virtual Brain simulates the brain to reveal the origins of disorders
A cognitive irony is that the human brain's very complexity makes it difficult to theorize about its workings, using thought alone. However, computer models can simulate the consequences of theories, identifying problems ...

Simulation & Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements, and Trainin
Simulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system.
Simulation is used in many contexts, including the modeling of natural systems or human systems in order to gain insight into their functioning. Other contexts include simulation of technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing, training and education. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action.
Key issues in simulation include acquisition of valid source information about the relevent selection of key characteristics and behaviours, the use of simplifying approximations and assumptions within the simulation, and fidelity and validity of the simulation outcomes.
