Developments are presented and reviewed:

tabular classification matrix "standards of mental functions according to the International Classification of Functioning WHO – experimental data of functional magnetic resonance imaging – loci in the three – dimensional structure of the brain";

techniques for placing LEDs at precise coordinates in a physical model of the brain structure to reflect the loci of specific mental functions;

image segmentation and reconstruction techniques for obtaining a three-dimensional brain grid of high resolution and accuracy;

3D-printed realistic model of the human brain using additive technologies of layer-by-layer printing and laser stereolithography;

technologies for creating a multilayer structure with arrays of LEDs of different color reproduction and assembly inside a 3D-model of the brain.

The developed methodology and practical implementation of the structural and functional physical model of localization of mental functions in the three-dimensional space of the brain is an innovative approach that, when implemented in practice, can contribute to improvement and optimization in: teaching and research in the physiology of higher nervous activity, psychiatry, psychology, neurology, neuroscience and neurotechnology, biophysics, medical physics, psychophysics, neurophysics, bioengineering; medical imaging, diagnosis and treatment of nervous and mental diseases, planning in neurosurgery and radiotherapy.
