Abstract:Animals are adapted to their natural habitats and lifestyles. Their brains perceive the external worldviatheir sensory systems, compute information and generate appropriate behavioral outputs. However, how do these processes evolve across evolution?

To this end, we have developed a high-throughpu… Show more
