title: Simulation of adaptive behavior.
abstract: Behaviors as diverse as swimming, withdrawal, escape, locomotion and feeding have been simulated using neuroethological and neurophysiological data obtained from a variety of animals. These simulations are providing new insights into the neural circuitry that generates adaptive behavior, as well as new ideas for the design of artificial autonomous devices.
