66 cog. units in each hemisphere, interconnect with anatomy as in the brain.
 
dictated by low frequencies.
 
gradual incr coupling strength;
at certain threshold, interconnex btwn units begin to create coordinated patterns.
 
we start with random, low activity levels:  despite that, the connex allow some units to sync, Deco said.
 
spatial pattern of sync approximates at 70% patterns in resting brains.
 
simualted 20 mins of brain activity  (it took 26 hours of computer time).
but now have simplified model (that can run on desktop).
