The Neural Basis of Behavioral Choice in an Artificial Insect
Jean-Arcady Meyer, Stewart W. Wilson · 1991
As its internal state and external environment continuously change, any truly autonomous agent must choose actions which are most appropriate to its immediate circumstances. This paper explores the idea that neurobiological design principles can be applied to the flexible control of autonomous agents. We describe a simulated insect whose behavior is controlled by an artificial nervous system. In particular, we focus on the neural basis of two different examples of behavioral choice in this artificial insect.
