A Virtual Slug Simulator Could Help Researchers Develop Better AI

Researchers at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign developed Cyberslug, a simulation of the sea slug, to better understand how simple brains work and apply that knowledge to the broader field of artificial intelligence research. Their study, “Implementing Goal-Directed Foraging Decisions of a Simpler Nervous System in Simulation,” is published in the journal eNeuro.
