A software system for modeling evolution in a population of organisms with vision, interacting with each other in 3D simulator by A. P. Devyaterikov, A. Yu. Palyanov

“…It is often sought to model not only the nervous system, but also the body, muscles, sensory systems, and a virtual three-dimensional physical environment in which the behavior of an organism can be observed and which provides its sensory systems with adequate data streams that change in response to the movement of the organism. For a system of hundreds or thousands of neurons, one can still hope to determine the necessary parameters and get the functioning of the nervous system more or less similar to that of a living organism – as, for example, in a recent work on the modeling of the Xenopus tadpole. …”
