“This interesting book is a step towards validation of the various neurocomputational models used for studying brain diseases. Written and edited by an array of internationally recognized experts in the field, it is an outstanding addition to neuroscience. … The target audience is primarily researchers doing neurocomputational modeling of various disease states as well as engineers, mathematicians, and theoretical neuroscientists interested in neurocomputation. … Each chapter ends with relevant and pertinent citations of the scientific literature.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
Validating Neuro-Computational Models of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders
herausgegeben von Basabdatta Sen Bhattacharya und Fahmida N. ChowdhuryThis book is a collection of articles by leading researchers working at the cutting edge of neuro-computational modelling of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Each article contains model validation techniques used in the context of the specific problem being studied.
Validation is essential for neuro-inspired computational models to become useful tools in the understanding and treatment of disease conditions. Currently, the immense diversity in neuro-computational modelling approaches for investigating brain diseases has created the need for a structured and coordinated approach to benchmark and standardise validation methods and techniques in this field of research. This book serves as a step towards a systematic approach to validation of neuro-computational models used for studying brain diseases and should be useful for all neuro-computational modellers.
