Highlights 2020
The project's contribution to the Centre for Digital Life Norway annual report 2020.
During 2020, our research focused on publishing papers on "the prediction machine": how the brain or even the whole animal can be seen as preparing the body for the near future. We have 2 papers on hormonal control and 1 on cognitive control of the body.
One highlight of 2020 was that the 2 PhD students both successfully defended their PhD theses.
For us, the major added value of being a part of a transdisciplinary centre has been having a meeting place where our PhD students have met researchers with very different backgrounds and perspectives.

Project overview
Project lead: Jarl Giske
Institution: University of Bergen
Research group
The aim of the project is to model life and behaviour in digital organisms, mostly fish. By modelling physiology, cognition, genes, stimuli, environment and evolution, this research will provide knowledge about natural behaviour.
Innovation: The researchers develop mathematical models of natural behaviour applicable to aquaculture and fisheries.
