Neurona@Home Phase III now running

After analysing the results from this Summer, the model has been found not very conclusive but still intriguing. The best result was found in the test number #464108. This solution allowed the model to evolve for some time with no mental activity extinction in a very irregular but interesting pattern. Maybe the general model using inhibition and excitation is not able to reach a periodic pattern but only a chaotic one. This is unexpected and, somehow, a drawback with respect to my expectations, but could allow us to tune the model to follow a real EEG. Despite of this, we are going to a new calculations phase with about 1000000 WUs to try. They are, somehow, special. They are designed to explore the upper limit of the network connectivity, and this implies that they are going to require more RAM, between 4 and 16 GB, so get prepared.

Ideologias@Home ends Phase II computations

Ideologias@Home Phase II computations have been completed after more than two weeks thanks to all volunteers, giving as a result more than 700.000 WU processed. Now begins the analysis phase, when all there results have to be examined. We hope we will be able to create a new model, more accurate and refined, to be tested in the Phase III of the project, perhaps in Autumn.
