Neural coordination can be enhanced by occasional interruption of normal firing patterns: A self-optimizing spiking neural network model
Alexander Woodward, Tom Froese, Takashi Ikegami
The state space of a conventional Hopfield network typically exhibits many different attractors of which only a small subset satisfy constraints between neurons in a globally optim…
Embodied social interaction constitutes social cognition in pairs of humans: A minimalist virtual reality experiment
Tom Froese, Hiroyuki Iizuka, Takashi Ikegami
Scientists have traditionally limited the mechanisms of social cognition to one brain, but recent approaches claim that interaction also realizes cognitive work. Experiments under…
Adaptability and Diversity in Simulated Turn-taking Behaviour
Hiroyuki Iizuka, Takashi Ikegami
Turn-taking behaviour is simulated in a coupled agents system. Each agent is modelled as a mobile robot with two wheels. A recurrent neural network is used to produce the motor out…
Selection of Catalysts through Cellular Reproduction
N. Ono, T. Ikegami
It has been pointed out that if an autocatalytic cycle produces primitive membrane chemicals, it can compose a self-maintaining proto cell. Moreover, it is known that a proto cell…
