Egbert, M. D. and Barandiaran, X. (2010) A minimal model of metabolism based chemotaxis, towards behavioural metabolution Talk given to the 'Alergic' Group (Artificial Life Reading Group In Cogs) at the University of Sussex. Presented a minimal model of metabolism based chemotaxis. Defined and simulated a minimal-metabolism, qualitatively recreated findings of experimental bacteriologists, and discussed interaction between metabolism based behavior and evolutionary processes, coined "metabolution".
Egbert, M. D. and Barandiaran, X. (2010) Towards Behavioural Metabolution: A minimal model of metabolism based chemotaxis Talk on Behavioural Metabolution given to the Information and Autonomous Systems, part of the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of the Basque Country.
Egbert, M. D. (2009) Adding behavior to autopoiesis [slides] Presentation to the 'Life & Mind' Reading Group on a model of autopoiesis designed to demonstrate a novel organization of behavior relative to autopoiesis.
Egbert, M. D. (2008) Systems of inheritance as endurability enhancing mechanisms Talk given to the 'Alergic' Reading Group at the University of Sussex. Presented a model of multiple concurrent inheritance systems.
