abstract = {It is argued that the relation of contemporary theoretical
approaches to consciousness to the neurophysiology of the
brain, can best be studied via detailed whole-brain
modeling[1]. Often neuroimaging modalities such as fMRI, EEG
and PET are applied to relate activation of brain regions or
brain structure with consciousness[1-3]. In order to
contribute to the discussion on consciousness, The Virtual
Brain[4] (TVB), a neuroinformatics platform for full brain
network simulations using biologically realistic
connectivity, can be employed to relate brain structure to
dynamics. In order to reduce workflow complexity for whole
brain network models used by simulators such as TVB, a tool
called RateML can be utilized. It enables scientist to
generate models from a high level XML file containing
constructs corresponding to aspects of the whole-brain
model, abstracting the concern for the actual
implementation. Its output is a Python model which can be
used in the graphical interface of TVB and a model and
simulator object for the Compute Unified Device
Architecture (CUDA) parallel computing platform, enabling
extreme parameter space exploration by making use of the
highly parallel architecture of the Graphical Processing
Unit (GPU). RateML has its foundation in Low Entropy Model
Specification (LEMS)[5] which has been used to build
NeuroML2. Nowadays, it is impossible to separate
computational neuroscience from the study on consciousness,
RateML makes the computational infrastructure accessible to
scientists to make stronger and statistically significant
claims about the brain.},
