Neural Implementation of Motivated Behavior: Feeding in an Artificial Insect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most complex behaviors appear to be governed by internal motivational states or drives that modify an animal's responses to its environment. It is therefore of considerable interest to understand the neural basis of these motivational states. Drawing upon work on the neural basis of feeding in the marine mollusc Aplysia, we have developed a heterogeneous artificial neural network for controlling the feeding behavior of a simulated insect. We demonstrate that feeding in this artificial insect shares many characteristics with the motivated behavior of natural animals.

متن کاملEFFECTS OF THE HARDENED NICKEL COATING ON THE FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF CK45 STEEL: EXPERIMENTAL, FINITE ELEMENT METHOD, AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK MODELING
Hardened nickel coating is widely used in many industrial applications and manufacturing processes because of its benefits in improving the corrosion fatigue life. It is clear that increasing the coating thickness provides good protection against corrosion. However, it reduces the fatigue life. Thus, applying a thin layer of coated nickel might give an acceptable corrosion protection with minim...
