How cognition shapes cognitive evolution
The tools we use shape the way we construct our world. When cognitive scientists began to model the evolution of cognition, one tool they found readily available was the genetic algorithm--a software system for artificially evolving solutions to problems that were specified by an explicit fitness function [1]. This fixed fitness function took a potential solution as input, and returned the good...
متن کاملHow Evolution Shapes the Way Roboticists Think
Interdisciplinary research in the 21st century is characterized by bidirectional flows: one domain provides inspiration to another, which, after an advance, provides inspiration back to the donating domain. In this abstract I outline three such flows between the domains of evolutionary biology and robotics. First, biological evolution shapes all aspects of an organism’s body and brain simultane...
متن کاملHow Land Use Shapes the Evolution of Road Networks
The present research develops a model to treat the organization, growth, and contraction of network elements. The components of the model include travel demand, revenue, cost, and investment. Revenue earned by links in excess of maintenance costs is invested on the link until all revenue is consumed. After upgrading (or downgrading) each link in the network, the time period is incremented and t...
متن کاملT Cells and Cancer: How Metabolism Shapes Immunity
Tumor microenvironment is characterized by a consistent reduction in oxygen and blood-borne nutrients that significantly affects the metabolism of distinct cell subsets. Immune cells populating malignant lesions need to activate alternative pathways to overcome tumor-prolonged nutrient deprivation. In particular, the metabolic switch occurring in transforming tissues dramatically impacts on tum...
