Nor did Shelley foresee that studies of the nervous system, of neurophysiology, would take place not only in the wet lab of the bench experimentalist, but also in the wet lab of the computational scientist--giving rise to the new discipline of Computational Neuroscience. While we have not yet achieved the fantasy of the Star Trek medical bay, it is not unreasonable for us to consider how we might address the realization of some of these fantasies. With increasing frequency, computational sciences are being exploited as a means with which to investigate biomedical processes at all levels of complexity; from molecular
