emergent behavior
last spring my friend James Potter made a behavioral model of ant colonies based on spiking neural networks. he was invited to Hungary for research and given a presentation slot in a cognitive science lecture about swarming.
the other week my friend Parker visited and was telling me about how bird's flight patterns and chaotic self-organization can be simulated based on a similar model involving random movement between minimum and maximum distances the birds can be apart from one another.
I am living with James and Parker in the spring and we are going to create something cool about birds, damnit.
the truly sick picture of birds is here though -
