Whole Brain Modelling: Cartography of the Dynamics of Mind provides a rigorous yet accessible examination of advanced whole-brain computational models that reveal the mechanisms driving brain dynamics—critical for mapping the mind’s complex architecture. Designed for students and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, biology, physics, mathematics, engineering, and medical science, it bridges disciplines while making sophisticated mathematical and physical principles approachable. Through the integration of cutting-edge neuroimaging and computational modeling, the text demonstrates how in silico brain simulations can replicate human neural activity with high fidelity. These models serve as experimental platforms, enabling virtual lesioning and stimulation to uncover causal mechanisms of brain function. Readers will explore how hierarchical coordination of brain dynamics shapes cognition and consciousness, informed by frameworks from modern physics such as stochastic thermodynamics and turbulence. These concepts are transforming our understanding of neural processes in both health and disease. By combining empirical imaging with state-of-the-art causal modeling, this book lays the foundation for a new paradigm in brain science—one that not only explains neural processing but also opens pathways to innovative interventions, improved treatments, and ultimately, enhanced well-being.
