Electrophysiological models are a powerful tool to study the electrical activity of cardiac cells under normal or pathological conditions. These models can also help predict the effects of drugs in the heart. These models are complex and it's necessary to simulate them many times (varying the conditions or model parameters). For this reason, researchers in this field usually require high computational power and BOINC is perfect solution to distribute the work to volunteer computers.
In DENIS@home you can run different research projects. Each one uses a different application that you can choose to run.

Electrophysiological models are a powerful tool to study the electrical activity of cardiac cells under normal or pathological conditions and can also help predict the effects of drugs in the heart. Because these models are complex, it's necessary to simulate them many times (varying the conditions or model parameters). For this reason, researchers in this field usually require high computational power and BOINC is the perfect solution to distribute the work to volunteer computers to achieve that high computational power.
