Artificial Life is the study of biological phenomena through their reproduction in artificial
systems. Cognition is a form of biological adaptation and it therefore falls within the province …

Cognitive neuroscience seeks to discover the biological foundations of the human mind.
One goal is to explain how mental operations are generated by the information processing …

At the beginning of the last century, physicists revolutionised the scientific view of the world.
Today biologists are radically transforming our understanding of the processes of life and …

The activity of neuronal circuits of the neocortex underlies our ability to perceive the world

navigating physiological and metabolic spaces. Behaviour science, evolutionary …

The success of the Metazoa can be attributed, in large part at least, to the presence of a
nervous system. This provides them with the means to integrate multiple sensory inputs and …

Our experimental work in computational neuroanatomy has uncovered distinctively efficient
layout of wiring in nervous systems. When mechanisms are explored by which such “best of …
