Core Tip	For the sciences of the mind, especially to understand psychic transformations, a profound interdisciplinary discourse is necessary to bridge the gap between the brain–mind interface, the physical and the information technology fields. The Mealy model guarantees an exact merging of the neurological and the mental domains according to strict scientific principles. The domain of somatic symptom disorders offers a way to put the focus on the individual patient’s psychodynamic balance and conflicts and their condensation in the symptom. To understand psychic transformation, to simulate pathogenetic and therapeutic pathways, the simulating the mind and applications model is helpful to provide further process- and even translational research.
