🚨Preprint alert 🚨 I am glad to announce that our preprint “Reservoir Computing with Evolved Critical Neural Cellular Automata” is out and will appear at ALIFE 2025 🎉 Link to our preprint: www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.02218

🔬 Excited to share our new paper: "Sensor Movement Drives Emergent Attention and Scalability in Active Neural Cellular Automata" We found that when neural systems can move their sensors (like animals do!), they develop attention-like behaviors without being explicitly programmed to do so. Post 1/6
