The artwork uses first-person walking practice in combination with narration sound as mapping tool, public pianos guide for exploring cities aesthetics digital culture. purpose this short manuscript to analyse role narrato...

Evolutionary Robotics (ER) employs population-based artificial evolution to develop behavioral robotics controllers. In this paper we focus on the formulation and application of a fitness selection function for ER that makes use of intra-population competitive selection. In the case of behavioral tasks, such as game playing, intra-population competition can lead to the evolution of complex beha...

We assume that parents use the signalling intensity of their young to determine how much food they bring to the nest, and that the pattern of food allocation is determined by the signalling intensity and by the intensity of other nonsignalling behaviours that are not perceived by the parents. We explore different ways in which signalling, nonsignalling behaviours and competitive asymmetries mig...

BACKGROUND Observing competitive games such as sports is a pervasive entertainment among humans. The inclination to watch others play may be based on our social-cognitive ability to understand the internal states of others. The mirror neuron system, which is activated when a subject observes the actions of others, as well as when they perform the same action themselves, seems to play a crucial ...
