Biological systems are immensely complex with the brain being the most complex of these systems. Mathematical models, long used in sciences such as physics, have been gaining in their application towards the biosciences. They can provide insight into what is not readily observable, allowing for sophisticated analysis and simulation of these complex systems.
We take the Liley model, a popular model of the cerebral cortex, and use it to model the effects of brain lesions on the electrical signals that are measured by EEG, MEG and ECoG and develop a deeper understanding into the conditions under which abnormal EEG may be produced due to brain lesions.
