Abstract:

This paper examines the research paradigm of neurally-driven Evolutionary
Autonomous Agents (EAAs), from a neuroscience perspective.

Two fundamental questions are addressed:
1. Can EAA studies shed new light on the structure and function of biological
nervous systems?
2. Can these studies lead to the development of new neuroscientific analysis
tools?

The value and significant potential of EAA modeling in both respects is
demonstrated and discussed. While the study of EAAs as a neuroscience
research methodology still faces difficult conceptual and technical
challenges, it is a promising and timely endeavor.
