Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells -- in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer ...

The computer model of cultural evolution used what is called an agent-based model. An “agent” can be thought of as a character in a simulation that represents a human being.

This model will not only facilitate further research of the human ear but may also help to improve and better adjust compensation devices for people with hearing impairment, including cochlear ...

Researchers from IOCB Prague and the cochlear implant company MED-EL have come up with a complete computer model of the ear. It can be used to simulate hearing of mammals including humans from the ...

Recent breakthroughs in making stem-cell based human embryo models are raising urgent questions about to what extent they should be treated like natural embryos and whether they are open to misuse.

The University of Toronto is home to a new “self-driving lab” that will allow researchers to better understand health and disease – and to more rapidly test the efficacy and toxicity of new drugs and ...

Models can also predict how infectious disease will spread in a population, for example. Computer models can be rejected if experimental evidence does not support them.
