It is commonly accepted that the various parts of the human brain interact as a network at macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic level. Recently, different network models have been proposed to mime the brain behavior both at resting state and during tasks: Our study concerns one of those model that consider both the physical and functional connectivity as well as topological metrics of the brain networks. We provide evidence of the soundness of the model by means of a synthetic dataset based on the existing literature concerning the active cerebral areas at the resting state. Furthermore, we consider Ruzicka similarity measure in order to stress the predictive capability of the model and provide a thresholding criterium. Some network statistics are finally provided.
