David Northmore Dr. Northmore is a neuroscientist interested in synthesizing nervous systems in computer simulation and neuromorphic hardware for behaving animats. The aim is to "incubate" artificial systems capable of developing along biologically realistic lines, extracting information from the environment, and behaving adaptively. The principles are derived from neurobiology, including his own behavioral and electrophysiological work on the visual system, particularly the midbrain optic tectum and nuclei associated with it. He is currently recording activity from these structures in response to motion flow fields.
