The scientific method is the formal procedure for all acceptable scientific endeavors. With this methodology, there is a continual interaction between theory, in the form of an hypothesis, and objective, experimental analysis. There is a new step in the scientific method that involves the use of computer models and simulation studies. When computer models are incorporated into hypothesis formulation, they can be used in simulation studies to test ideas before they are tried experimentally. An iterative feedback between these tests and current ideas allows for a preliminary refinement of hypotheses and development of more intelligent research protocols. In this way, computer simulation studies can serve as an intermediate step in the scientific method, reducing the number of animals used in biomedical experimentation. In this article we also explore other ways that computer simulation studies could limit the use of animals in biomedical research and education. |
