Abstract

In this paper we describe the use of a learning classifier system to control the electrical stimulation of cultured neuronal networks. The aim is to manipulate the environment of the cells such that they display elementary learning, i.e., so that they respond to a given input signal in a pre-specified way. Results indicate that this is possible and that the learned stimulation protocols identify seemingly fundamental properties of in vitro neuronal networks.allUse of another learning scheme and simpler stimulation confirms these properties.
