Evolved neural agents use self-hearing for communication-based regulation

Researchers have identified three primary strategies in evolved neural agents for predator avoidance, with communication playing a key role. These strategies include safety calling, alarm indication, and a novel self-regulatory calling mechanism. The study found that agents relying on self-hearing to sustain escape behavior were significantly impaired when this feedback was removed, highlighting how communication can evolve to regulate an agent's own actions rather than solely transferring information.

    Self-Regulation through Communication in Evolved Neural Agents

    Communication is typically understood as indication: signals that transfer information from sender to receiver. We present a minimal predator avoidance task in which pairs of evolved CTRNN agents use communication for robust survival, and in which agents hear their own vocalizati…
