Neural Representation Modeller (NRM) is a software product based on MAGNUS being developed by Igor Aleksander and Novel Technical Solutions. According to the company “it is being used to study cognitive (thought-based) behaviours in the brain by getting an insight into the way in which the brain represents reality through a process of reconstructing it within its neural system. NRM makes the reconstructions explicit and visible on the computer screen.” The following articles give more information about MAGNUS:
