Robotics researchers increasingly agree that ideas from biology and self-organization can
strongly benefit the design of autonomous robots. Biological organisms have evolved to …

The continuous incorporation of new neurons in the dentate gyrus of the adult hippocampus
raises exciting questions about memory and learning, and has inspired new computational …

In this paper we present a broad overview of the last 40 years of research on cognitive
architectures. To date, the number of existing architectures has reached several hundred …

This survey presents an overview of the autonomous development of mental capabilities in
computational agents. It does so based on a characterization of cognitive systems as …

Brains are usually described as input/output systems: they transform sensory input into
motor output. However, the motor output of brains (behavior) is notoriously variable, even …

Driven by rapid ongoing advances in computer hardware, neuroscience and computer
science, Artificial Brain research and development are blossoming. This article constitutes …

This book addresses the central role played by development in cognition. The focus is on
applying our knowledge of development in natural cognitive systems, specifically human …

The mammalian hippocampus has been associated with learning and memory, as well as
with many other behavioral processes. In this article, these different perspectives are …

Memory may be broadly regarded as information gained from past experience that is
available in the service of ongoing and future adaptive behavior. The biological …

We describe Darwin X, a physical device that interacts with a real environment, whose
behavior is guided by a simulated nervous system incorporating aspects of the detailed …
