A virtual model of the brain which is capable of daydreaming just like human beings has been developed by scientists. The computer has been modelled on the dynamics of brain cells and the many connections these cells make with the cells in the brain. This is expected to be useful as a diagnostic tool for the treatment of brain injuries.
