The new field of “Computational Ethology” is made possible by advances in technology, mathematics, and engineering that allow scientists to automate the measurement and the analysis of animal behavior. We explore the opportunities and long-term directions of research in this area.
متن کاملEthology and Functionalism Behavioral Descriptions as the Link between Physical and Functional Descriptions
In this paper, I introduce the notion of “behavioral state” as a means to bridge the gap between functional specifications of cognitive architectures and their physical implementations based on ethological methods of describing animal behavior. After briefly sketching some of the problems resulting from mere functional descriptions of cognitive architectures, I define the notion of behavioral s...

What does it mean to be “human”? The question, though it has occupied some of the greatest Western minds of philosophy, science, history, and political theory, could not have been answered with any plausibility until recently, for we have only begin to acquire the scientific knowledge necessary to provide an informed response.

متن کاملEthology and Stress Diseases
Many of us have been surprised at the unconventional decision of the Nobel Foundation to award this year’s prize ‘for Physiology or Medicine’ to three men who had until recently been regarded as ‘mere animal watchers’. Since at least Konrad Lorenz and I could not really be described as physiologists, we must conclude that our scientia amabilis is now being acknowledged as an integral part of th...

which tend to capitalize on similarity rather than change. Time ranges of biologic rhythms are explored and an enormous variation is evident ranging from fractions of a second within an individual to millions of years in an evolutionary scale. The influence and interplay of exogenous and endogenous factors in such rhythms are discussed and abnormalities of rhythms are considered to be of fundam...
