| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed a feedback loop system between a robot and a neural circuit, where a (either cultured or artificial) neural circuit controls the robot's behavior and the information from the environment will be feedback onto the neural circuit. By studying this iteration of stimulus and behavior of the feedback loop system, i) we characterized the development of cultured neural circuit by the transfer entropy, and we discovered that ii) a cultured neural circuit can create a structure by this feedback looping and iii) this pattern obeys a new principle of "learning by avoiding stimulus" at the network level.
