Biological neural networks are systems of extraordinary computational capabilities shaped
by evolution, development, and lifelong learning. The interplay of these elements leads to …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

Creativity is a fundamental feature of human intelligence, and a challenge for AI. AI
techniques can be used to create new ideas in three ways: by producing novel combinations …

The ocean depth at which the rate of calcium carbonate input from surface waters equals the
rate of dissolution is termed the calcite compensation depth. At present, this depth is∼ 4,500 …

In Reconstructing the Cognitive World, Michael Wheeler argues that we should turn away
from the generically Cartesian philosophical foundations of much contemporary cognitive …

We consider approaches to brain dynamics and function that have been claimed to be
Darwinian. These include Edelman's theory of neuronal group selection, Changeux's theory …

Organisms result from adaptive processes interacting across different time scales. One such
interaction is that between development and evolution. Models have shown that …

The implementation of moral decision making abilities in artificial intelligence (AI) is a
natural and necessary extension to the social mechanisms of autonomous software agents …

How does the brain work? After a century of research, we still lack a coherent view of how
neurons process signals and control our activities. But as the field of computational …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for the automatic creation of autonomous robots [86]. It is
inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest captured by …
