Penfield ResponseChange something. See what follows.

Penfield Response studies what happens when a computational brain is perturbed. Apply an intervention to a model, run it through Dynamics, and read the predicted neural response.

It is research simulation software: a way to ask sharper questions before the laboratory, the scanner or the clinic, not a way to skip them.

How Penfield Response works

Penfield ModelInterventionDynamicsPredicted neural response

Before.
And after.

Every prediction is shown against baseline, with confidence and assumptions attached. What the software cannot support, it does not predict.

A predicted response is a hypothesis, not a result. It informs experiments; it does not replace them.

Research software

In-silico predictions on a synthetic model. They inform experiments; they do not replace them.

01

Chemical

Drugs, receptor effects, neurotransmitter changes, anaesthetic effects.

02

Electrical / Magnetic

DBS, TMS and other stimulation paradigms.

03

Biological

Receptor changes, gene-related parameters, disease mechanisms.

04

Physiological

Oxygen, sleep, temperature and metabolic state.

05

Structural

Injury, lesions, tumour effects and simulated resection.

One system

Every Penfield product sits on the same path: measurement in, intervention out. Penfield Response is one part of it.
