摘要: Book synopsis: Action selection is the task of doing right thing at time. It requires assessment available alternatives, executing those most appropriate, and resolving conflicts among competing goals possibilities. Using advanced computational modelling, this book explores cutting-edge research into action in nature from a wide range disciplines, neuroscience to behavioural ecology, even political science. delivers new insights both detailed systems-level attributes natural intelligence demonstrates advances methodological practice. Contributions leading researchers cover issues including whether biological optimal, neural substrates for vertebrate brain, perceptual decision making, interactions between group individual selection. This first integrated review contains balance original material, consolidating current knowledge valuable reference while illustrating potential paths future studies. Focuses on methodology enabling readers understand apply techniques their particular questions Covers multiple levels description analysis, demonstrating that fundamental problem biology, spanning many cells systems organisms societies Contains providing landmark state field indicating avenues
