Let’s Build a Brain aatishb.com

Aatish Bhatia and Arkarup Banerjee use interactive simulations of four-neuron “sparks” to show how simple changes in neural connections can make a creature turn toward or away from light, stop near it, and develop different light preferences. The examples are based on neuroscientist Valentino Braitenberg’s thought experiments and illustrate how behavior can emerge from neural circuits.
