A trial of cybernetic explanation of the development and regression of benign child epilepsy

Using as an example the verification of a hypothetic mechanism of the course of benign child epilepsy the authors demonstrate a method of simulation investigations of neuron-like networks. The structure and possibilities of a digital system for network modelling are discussed, including the properties of the neuron-like element used presently for the experiments. The results of the simulation investigations described in the second part of the paper confirm the hypothesis that an attack of benign child epilepsy is a result of transgressing of the stability border by a fragment of the neuronal network with development in it of a self-exciting activity of a neuronal group.
