Papers 2 & 3 – Neurogenesis and synaptogenesis

Sung-Bae Cho  & Geum-Beom Song  - Evolving CAM-Brain to control a mobile robot
The idea of using trying to grow a useful network by use of local rules only is very interesting and has a clear parallel in nature. The use of a cellular automata is clever as this is a very clean expression of growing [...]

J. C. Astor & C. Adami – A Developmental Model for the Evolution of Artificial Neural Networks
The model of the aligning hexagonal occupy-able “spaces” is an effective and understandable simplification. I like the attempt to model the many factors during neural development including simultaneous cell and connection (axon/dendrite) growth.  A powerful feature is the inclusion [...]
