Vincenzo G. Fiore
Profile
Position:
Research Fellow
Short profile:
Neural network programming simulating biological processes in bio-inspired intrinsically motivated systems, using genetic algorithms (Matlab suite and C++). Focus: emotions, neuromodulators, learning and conditioning, stress coping and action selection. Also interested in: mind theories (cognitive and physicalist approaches), neurophilosophy, theories of artificial life and artificial intelligence.
