Reverse engineer the brain with a mathematical model

September 30th, 2009 by June von Bonin

A team of scientist at the Rockefeller University have developed a mathematical model which describes “how the trillions of interconnections among neurons could maintain a stable but dynamic relationship that leaves the brain sensitive enough to respond to stimulation without veering into a blind seizure.” The model’s key assumption is that neurons function together in localized groups to preserve stability.
