Model Validation

(How we established trust in the brain model predictions)

Our validation strategy is based on three approaches and we continual look for new opportunities to verify and validate the brain simulations. To examine the predictive capability of the model, we evaluate the ability of the models to match pressure, relative displacements and strain.

Summary of all Validation Results

CORA ratings for all validation cases are shown below. CORA parameters for each case were selected from Giordano, C., & Kleiven, S. (2016).
