This article investigates how neurons can use metabolic cost to facilitate learning at a population level. Although decision-making by individual neurons has been extensively studied, questions regarding how neurons should behave to cooperate effectively remain largely unaddressed. Under...

Self-organization, especially in the framework of embodiment in biologically inspired robots, allows the acquisition of behavioral primitives by autonomous robots themselves. However, it is an open question how self-organization of basic motor primitives and goal-orientation can be combined,...

We study how learning shapes behavior towards risk when individuals are not assumed to know, or to have beliefs about, probability distributions. In any period, the behavior change induced by learning is assumed to depend on the action chosen and the payoff obtained. We characterize learning...
