Many methods of generating behavior sequences of agents by evolution have been reported. A new evolutionary computation method named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has also been developed recently along with these trends. The aim of this paper is to build an artificial model to realize functional localization based on GNP considering the fact that the functional localization of the brain is realized in such a way that a different part of the brain corresponds to a different function. GNP has a directed graph structure suitable for realizing functional localization. In this paper, it is especially stated that the evolution of the switching function can be realized for functional localization of GNP using the self-sufficient garbage collector problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
