Co-evolution of self-replication and function in a digital primordial soup
Francesco Cicala, Eyvind Niklasson, Ettore Randazzo +8
While traditional evolutionary algorithms hard-code reproduction, self-replication can emerge spontaneously within digital ``primordial soups''. This paper investigates the co-evol…

A Generalized Framework of Antisymmetric Polyspectral Indices for Identifying High-Order Neural Interactions
Alessio Basti, Rikkert Hindriks, Ruggero Freddi +4
Cross-frequency interactions are fundamental brain mechanisms for integrating information across temporal scales. However, accurate identification of these couplings is hindered by…

Bridging Theory and Practice in Crafting Robust Spiking Reservoirs
Ruggero Freddi, Nicolas Seseri, Diana Nigrisoli +1
Spiking reservoir computing provides an energy-efficient approach to temporal processing, but reliably tuning reservoirs to operate at the edge-of-chaos is challenging due to exper…
