Journal ArticleDOI
An embodied biologically constrained model of foraging
Giovanni Maffei,Diogo Santos-Pata,Encarni Marcos,Martí Sánchez-Fibla,Paul F. M. J. Verschure +4 more
TL;DR: DAC-X is proposed, a novel cognitive architecture that unifies the theoretical principles of DAC with biologically constrained computational models of several areas of the mammalian brain and supports complex foraging strategies through the progressive acquisition, retention and expression of task-dependent information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Vicarious Trial and Error Is Predictive of Spatial Navigation Performance.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that head-scanning behaviors that humans typically exhibit during spatial navigation are as predictive of spatial learning as in the rat, and can be used to predict performance in navigation tasks with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size Matters: How Scaling Affects the Interaction between Grid and Border Cells.
Diogo Santos-Pata,Riccardo Zucca,Sock Ching Low,Paul F. M. J. Verschure,Paul F. M. J. Verschure +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that for optimal contribution to grid cells' error minimization, border cells should express smaller firing fields relative to those of the associated grid cells, which is consistent with the hypothesis of border cells functioning as spatial anchoring signals.
Book ChapterDOI
Insect Behavioral Evidence of Spatial Memories During Environmental Reconfiguration
TL;DR: It is shown that crickets can behaviorally manifest environmental reconfiguration, suggesting the encoding for spatial representation, and that insects were capable of identifying sensory modifications in known environments.
Book ChapterDOI
Navigate the Unknown: Implications of Grid-Cells “Mental Travel” in Vicarious Trial and Error
TL;DR: It is shown that place-cells are able to represent the agents current location, whereas grid-cells encode the robots movement in space and project their activity over unexplored paths and the results suggest a tight interaction between spatial and reward related neuronal activity in defining VTE behavior.
