PLoS Computational Biology
Maximum entropy models are the least structured probability distributions that exactly reproduce a chosen set of statistics measured in an interacting network. ...
Already in groups as small as 10 neurons, interactions between spikes can no longer be regarded as small perturbations in an otherwise independent system; for 40 or more neurons pairwise interactions need ...

Application of Coarse-Coding Techniques for Evolvable Multirobot Controllers
[chapter]
2010
Computational Intelligence in Optimization
In this chapter, we incorporate the Artificial Neural Tissue (ANT) approach for robot control from previous work with a novel Sensory Coarse Coding (SCC) model. ...
This model is able to exploit regularity in the sensor data of the environment. Determining how the sensor suite of a robot should be configured and utilized is critical for the robots operation. ...
Each output neuron commands one behavior of the agent. (In the case of a robot, a typical behavior may be to move forward a given distance. ...

Functional Specialization in the Attention Network
2019
Annual Review of Psychology
Spatial attention is comprised of neural mechanisms that boost sensory processing at a behaviorally relevant location while filtering out competing information. ...
The present review examines functional specialization in the network of brain regions that directs such preferential processing. ...
Both stimulus properties and behavioral goals drive the dynamic allocation of spatial attention across different locations in the visual scene, for example, when searching for a behaviorally relevant target ...

Sensory-Motor Circuits: Hox Genes Get in Touch
2015
Neuron
The majority of the 39 vertebrate Hox genes are expressed in a large variety of sensory, motor, and interneuron classes. ...
The diversity of animal behaviors relies on the ability of neurons to establish selective synaptic connections with target cells and integrate into functionally distinct networks. ...
This function appears to be mediated by the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh), which is a ventral part of the striatum that has been referred to as a ''sensory sentinel'' for consummatory behavior (Kelley ...

A robot behavior-learning experiment using Particle Swarm Optimization for training a neural-based animat
2008
2008 10th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision
We investigate the use of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and compare with Genetic Algorithms (GA), for a particular robot behavior-learning task: the training of an animat behavior totally determined ...
The target behavior is simple, but the learning task is challenging because of the dynamic complexity of fully-recurrent neural networks. ...
The animat behavior is defined by a fully recurrent neural network with 5 sensory inputs, and a total of N fullyconnected neurons among which 4 are motor outputs, as illustrated on figure 1. ...
