This paper initiates language in LIDA by using the Learning Intelligent Decision Agent’s (LIDA) perceptual learning mechanism to suggest how an infant vervet, Chlorocebus pygerthrus, learns the meanings of vervet monkey alarm calls. We consider a multiple meanings approach which includes a feeling-based meaning, an action-based meaning, and a referential meaning. Simulations first test the lear...

Abstract South Africa’s extensive linear infrastructure network (which includes roads and power lines) is severely impacting the country’s historically recognised five primate species: greater or thick-tailed bushbaby ( Otolemur crassicaudatus ), southern lesser Galago moholi chacma baboon Papio ursinus vervet monkey Chlorocebus pygerythrus ) samango Cercopithecus albogularis ). We present Afri...

BACKGROUND There are three subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei: T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense and T. b. brucei. The first two are infectious to humans, whilst T. b. brucei is not. Identifying an animal model of T. b. brucei that mimics human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) would enable researchers to study HAT without subjecting themselves to undue risks such as accidental infection. OBJECTIV...
