Silvia Ferrari and her team at Duke University trained a virtual insect whose nervous system is modeled by a large spiking neural network. The virtual insect was trained with an algorithm that responds to sensory feedback, such as vision, touch and sound. The virtual insect was able to adapt to changing conditions as it navigated the environment for virtual food. Courtesy of Gary W. Meek, Georgia Tech
