%X Understanding information propagation and computational capabilities in large-scale brain models is crucial for advancing both neuroscience and neuro-inspired computing. It remains unknown how complexity affects the performance of simulated biological networks in predicting non-linear dynamics. Here, this issue is addressed by integrating reservoir computing, a recurrent neural network architecture, with The Virtual Brain, a whole-brain simulation platform, to create amore neurophysiologically-plausible machine learning framework. Metrics derived from nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory, including the largest Lyapunov exponent, which captures chaotic behavior, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis, which assesses temporal correlations, and the Perturbational Complexity Index, which evaluates the complexity of neural responses, provide a quantitative framework for characterizing cognitive dynamics. Deploying this framework on High Performance Computing enables a thorough exploration of the vast parameter space, utilizing a diverse evaluation framework that assesses simulations through these metrics, implemented on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This enables the identification of optimal parameter regimes, a comprehensive characterization of the complex dynamics exhibited by the system, and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing the TVB-based reservoir’s computational capabilities. Ridge regression, accelerated also by GPUs, is used to extract the predictive capacity from the reservoir states. The results suggest that edge-of-chaosdynamics correspond to enhanced memory and prediction accuracy, supporting the potential of TVB-based reservoirs for brain-inspired machine learning.
