For example, we have a whole brain model of rest state dynamics that can represent aspects of data (eg graph metrics such as degree) from multiple sclerosis patients, distinctly from healthy controls. Here, the map is the model parameters, and the territory is the patient's actual brain. The map is deemed useful if its structure represents that of the territory.
- p1esk 7y agoWhether you like it or not, when you say "whole brain simulation" most people will interpret it as a fully functioning model of an entire human brain [1]. If you mean something other than that, you should be more specific (e.g. "a whole brain model of rest state dynamics").
