===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|url=http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Computational_neuroethology|title=Computational neuroethology|first1=Randall|last1=Beer|first2=Hillel|last2=Chiel|date=4 March 2008|publisher=|volume=3|issue=3|doi=10.4249/scholarpedia.5307}}</ref>
 
===MATLAB===
[[MATLAB]] is a programming environment that is used globally in virtually all neuroscience and cognitive psychology laboratories.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100312120040/http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/716634/description MATLAB FOR NEUROSCIENTISTS]</ref> MATLAB integrates the modelling and experimental processes by bringing together, under the aegis of an intuitive [[scripting language]], powerful data analysis and mathematical modelling tools.
