System for neurobehaviorual animation

A method of animating a virtual object or digital entity, the method comprising:

• providing a modelling environment for constructing a behavioural model from a library including a plurality of interconnected modules each module having at least one variable, at least one of the plurality of interconnected modules having a computational element linked to a graphical element, wherein the graphical element comprises a representation of the computational element, wherein the behavioural model comprises a directed graph of the plurality of interconnected modules in which the plurality of interconnected modules are arranged in a structure, wherein the behavioural model comprises at least one feedback loop and connectors that link the variables of modules between the plurality of interconnected modules across the structure;
• and
• time-stepping the behavioural model, and redrawing the model after one or multiple times of time-stepping the behavioural model.
