About The Event
Overview:
Animals have to move in order to accomplish fundamental tasks such as
foraging, migration and mating. They navigate the environment by
collecting information through their senses, integrating the different
inputs and generating a motor response that finally results in efficient
search strategies.
How do different organisms solve similar problems? Are there unifying
principles? How are neural circuits organized so as to direct
appropriate behavior? Can animal behavior provide useful inspiration for
robotics applications? Can results from decision-making theory improve
our understanding of animal behavior? How can physical and mathematical
modeling contribute to advance our knowledge?
This workshop aims at gathering physicists, biologists, neuroscientists,
and computer scientists to offer their diverse perspectives and explore
new directions for research and opportunities for collaborations in this
rapidly developing field.
