Ashby's Mobile Homeostat
In Design for a Brain, W. Ross Ashby speculates about the possibility of creating a mobile homeostat “with its critical states set so that it seeks situations of high illumination.” This paper explores an embedding of Ashby’s homeostat within a simulated robot and environment, exploring the question as to whether the classic (unmodified) homeostat architecture is able to adapt to this environme...
متن کاملCircadian and Homeostatic Sleep Regulation: Measuring Clock - Homeostat Interactions
Sleep is regulated by homeostatic and circadian processes [1]. In mammals, homeostatic sleep pressure is reflected by electroencephalogram (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA, EEG power density between ~1 and 4 Hz) in undisturbed non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. In all mammalian species investigated until now, not only the amount of sleep, but also SWA in NREM sleep increases after sleep deprivat...

متن کاملAllostatic breakdown of cascading homeostat systems: A computational approach
Homeostasis posits that physiological systems compensate setpoint deviations in an attempt to maintain a state of internal constancy. Allostasis, on the other hand, suggests that physiological regulation is more appropriately described by predictive modulatory actions that, by adjusting setpoints, anticipate and react to changes in internal and external demand. In other words, "maintaining stab...
