A Comparison of the Aims and Objectives of the Human Brain Project with Grakov's Mathematical Model of the Autonomic Nervous System (Strannik Technology)
Author(s): Graham Wilfred Ewing BSc, and Igor Gennadyevich Grakov PhD

This article makes a comparison between the Strannik technology which was developed during the period 1982-present by Dr Igor Gennadyevich Grakov
and the EC Human Brain Project.

Sensory input influences the activity of the brain and the autonomic nervous system. In this article we report a technology which uses changes of colour
perception within a mathematical model of the autonomic nervous system which has both diagnostic and therapeutic applicability. The fundamental
methodology of this technique, and examples of how this technology can be used to diagnose the onset and progression of a wide range of medical
conditions, and also to treat a wide range of medical conditions, have been described in an extensive programme of articles which have been published
in various medical journals. Grakov’s model has extensive applicability.

We make a comparison of this Strannik technology with the Aims and Objectives of the EC Human Brain Project (in particular sub-sections SP3
Cognitive Neuroscience, SP6 Neural Simulation, SP8 Medical Informatics) and illustrate that Grakov’s Strannik technology has made extensive strides
towards meeting these objectives including, but not limited to the following: (i) it is a neural simulation technique; (ii) it incorporates an understanding
of the structural relationship between molecular biology, cell biology, organ function and the function of the organ networks; (iii) it is based upon an
understanding of the relationship between genotype and phenotype; (iv) SVS can be invaluable to SP8 the Medical Informatics Platform because, as
outlined, it effectively presents a new category of cognitively/biologically based diagnostics, supported by a strong mechanistic hypotheses of disease
causation; and (v) because it involves an understanding of the mechanism which the brain uses to regulate the function of the autonomic nervous system
and physiological systems.
