Research topics:

Behaviour mechanisms

We are interested in general behaviour phenomena and how they can be understood with models of the nervous system (artificial neural networks). We have primarily dealt with generalisation and discrimination, and are now extending our research to the fields of learning and motivation.

Stimulus control
Learning
 

Social behaviour and communication

We use game theory and evolutionary simulations to study a number of issues in social evolution. Recently we have also begun testing theory experimentally.
