The aim of this work is to examine the connectomes of Caenorhabditis elegans through a computational lens using the reservoir computing framework. Connectomes are mappings of biological neural network...

Geilo, Norway January 31st to February 5th, 2027 The fields of artificial life, collective intelligence, and evolution, span a wide range of scientific disciplines, yet, they share foundational ideas from complexity science such as self-organisation, network approaches, agentic perspectives, and bio-inspired paradigms of intelligence. The goal of the workshop is to move away from the traditional keynotes format, and instead create a stimulating environment to explore research ideas through discussion groups and projects with the goal of spawning new collaborations. The workshop is open to researchers from PhDs and postdocs to senior researchers. Registration is now open until September 30th: http://aliceworkshop.org

A few days ago I heard that Inman Harvey had died quite suddenly. Inman was a central figure within the international Artificial Life research community and along with a few others helped define the r...

Flocking behavior is a good example of viewing life as an emergent phenomenon. Flocking behavior can be studied using the boids model and by simulating a large scale model we can define and study how ...
