DOI: 10.1002/jeab.495
Abstract: The evolutionary theory of behavior dynamics is a complexity theory that instantiates the Darwinian principles of selection, reproduction, and mutation in a genetic algorithm. The algorithm is used to animate artificial organisms that behave continuously… read more here.

Abstract: McDowell's (2004) Evolutionary Theory of Behavior Dynamics (ETBD) is a computational theory that has reproduced a wide variety of behavioral phenomena observed in material reality. Here, we extended the generality of the ETBD by successfully… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/sqb.2018.83.037887
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to outline a new molecular and synaptic theory of behavior called the "synaptomic theory," named because it is centered on the synaptome-the complement of synapses in the brain. Synaptomic… read more here.

I Am Conscious, Therefore, I Am: Imagery, Affect, Action, and a General Theory of Behavior

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci9050107
Abstract: Organisms are adapted to each other and the environment because there is an inbuilt striving toward security, stability, and equilibrium. A General Theory of Behavior connects imagery, affect, and action with the central executive system… read more here.
