Scientists from the University of Illinois and the Institute of evolutionary biology United States have created a virtual slug strikingly similar their habits in the present. He has a rudimentary consciousness, reacts to different situations and able to experience the feeling of hunger. The basis of CyberLink took a real insect called the development Cyberslug (cyberlibel).
“Slug relies on memories when the perception of the outside world and is able to compare their actions with the feelings,” talks about the development of Professor of molecular physiology Early Gillette from the University of Illinois.
When creating insect the developers have tried to give CyberLink as many traits of its real brethren. For example, if he meets an unfamiliar object, he can eat it, try to avoid or keep him company. In the latter case, the slug needs to meet similar. Fed slug can pass by very tasty food, and hungry, on the contrary, will not refuse the opportunity to lunch even stronger than he was, prey.
To run and test the simulation of the slug on the website of the developers — it’s available to anyone. On the page there is the opportunity to build a number of options to make the life of a slug. There are indicators, clearly indicating the different States, “ward”.
