Topic: Biophysical network modeling

Background: Biophysical network modeling (BNM) of the brain is a promising technique for bridging macro- and microscale levels of investigation, enabling inferences about latent features of brain activity such as excitation-inhibition balance. This approach allows personalized models of the brain to be fitted to individual subjects’ imaging data through parameter optimization [1, 2]. However, the process typically requires several thousand simulations per subject, making it computationally expensive and limiting its scalability to larger subject pools and more complex models. To address this,
