Mathematical modeling of the function of the human brain Mathematical Modeling of the Functions of the Human Brain Understanding the functions of the human brain is one of the most important goals of contemporary science. Sciences that engage in studies of brain function include biology, medicine, psychology, psychiatry, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, mathematics, etc. Most studies about brain function are based on biological and medical sciences using biochemistry. On the other hand there are some studies that are based on computer science and mathematics. There is very little overlap between these two basic groups.
Medical books describe human brain without mathematics or they use only a few very simple equations.
These equations describe only certain brain parts. Mathematical analyses do not use the actual functionality of neurons, in most examples. Rather, they simplify neuronal function using simple models that are easy to include in other deductions. These books often attempt to explain brain function using higher neural functions such as in the visual system. It then attempts to go beyond these simple functions to include the general functionality of the brain.
