34 This tutorial presents the basic anatomy of a brain network model at the region level using The Virtual Brain’s (TVB’s) graphical interface. You are not expected to launch all the simulations.
35
36 We will be using the Default Project that should be imported when you start TVB. We’ll only go through the necessary steps required to reproduce some simulations. You can always start over, click along and/or try to change parameters.

51 The main goal of this tutorial is to provide a clear understanding of how we can reproduce clinically relevant senarios such as the modelisation of propagation of an epileptic seizure in the human brain, electrical stimulation of a brain region that can trigger a seizure, or surgical resection of brain regions.
52
53 We will be using the ModelingEpilepsy project. We’ll only go through the necessary steps required to reproduce these simulations, along with the relevant outline. You can always start over, click along and/or try to change parameters. We will use the default subject connectivity matrix and surface.

150 In addition to the components discussed for a region simulation here we introduce one new major component, that is:
151
152 Cortex, the primary component of which is a mesh surface defining a 2d representation of the convoluted cortical surface embedded in 3d space. This object includes a range of ancillary information and methods required for using it in simulations.
153
154 We will also introduce two new Monitors that make more sense in the context of surface simulations
