Validating Neuro-Computational Models of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders cover

This book presents a systematic approach to validating neuro-computational models for neurological and psychiatric disorders, featuring contributions from leading researchers on techniques relevant to specific research challenges in the field.

Validating Neuro-Computational Models of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders is a comprehensive resource aimed at enhancing the systematic validation of neuro-computational models utilized in the study of brain diseases. This collection features contributions from leading experts in the field, each providing insights into the latest techniques for model validation tailored to specific neurological and psychiatric challenges.

The importance of validation in neuro-inspired computational models cannot be overstated, as it is crucial for their effectiveness in understanding and treating various diseases. The current landscape of neuro-computational modeling is marked by a wide array of approaches, which has highlighted the necessity for a more structured method to benchmark and standardize validation practices. This book addresses that need by presenting a coordinated framework that researchers can adopt to ensure the reliability and applicability of their models.

By compiling diverse perspectives and methodologies, this book serves as a valuable guide for neuro-computational modellers. It not only emphasizes the significance of validation but also offers practical strategies for implementing these techniques within their own research. Ultimately, this work aims to foster a more unified approach to the validation of neuro-computational models, thereby enhancing their utility in both academic research and clinical applications.

“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)
