===Genetic algorithms===
[[Genetic algorithms]] are used to evolve neural (and sometimes body) properties in a model brain-body-environment system so as to exhibit some desired behavioral performance. The evolved agents can then be subjected to a detailed analysis to uncover their principles of operation. Evolutionary approaches are particularly useful for exploring spaces of possible solutions to a given behavioral task because these approaches minimize a priori assumptions about how a given behavior ought to be instantiated. They can also be useful for exploring different ways to complete a computational neuroethology model when only partial neural circuitry is available for a biological system of interest.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Computational neuroethology|first1=Randall|last1=Beer|first2=Hillel|last2=Chiel|date=4 March 2008|volume=3|issue=3|doi=10.4249/scholarpedia.5307|journal=Scholarpedia|pages=5307|doi-broken-date=12 June 2024 |bibcode=2008SchpJ...3.5307B|doi-access=free}}</ref>

Line 175:
Nervous systems differ from the majority of silicon-based computing devices in that they resemble [[analog computer]]s (not [[digital data]] processors) and massively [[parallel computing|parallel]] processors, not [[von Neumann architecture|sequential]] processors. To model nervous systems accurately, in real-time, alternative hardware is required.
 
The most realistic circuits to date make use of [[analogue electronics|analog]] properties of existing [[digital electronics]] (operated under non-standard conditions) to realize Hodgkin–Huxley-type models ''in silico''.<ref>L.
