Abstract:
This study introduces TVB C++, a streamlined and fast C++ Back-End for The Virtual Brain (TVB), a renowned platform and a benchmark tool for full-brain simulation. TVB C++ is engineered with speed as a primary focus while retaining the flexibility and ease of use characteristic of the original TVB platform. Positioned as a complementary tool, TVB serves as a prototyping platform, whereas TVB C++ becomes indispensable when performance is paramount, particularly for large-scale simulations and leveraging advanced computation facilities like supercomputers. Developed as a TVB-compatible Back-End, TVB C++ seamlessly integrates with the original TVB implementation, facilitating effortless usage. Users can easily configure TVB C++ to execute the same code as in TVB but with enhanced performance and parallelism capabilities. As a consequence, TVB C++ will enable the widespread use of individualized models that will open the possibility of designed tailored solutions at the individual patient level.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
