Abstract

This paper reports a new finding on functionalities of trembling, the bodily manifestation of fear and joy. We consider trembling of a physically-simulated agent consisting of a vision system and a neural system. It is demonstrated that the noise to visual streams generated by trembling enhances signal to noise ratio of the neural system.
