Embodied Neurocomputation: A Framework for Interfacing Biological Neural Cultures with Scaled Task-Driven Validation

The paper introduces an Embodied Neurocomputation framework that tackles the challenge of encoding and decoding between silicon computers and biological neural networks (BNNs). Using a large‑scale parameter sweep, the authors optimized over 1,300 encoding configurations for a BNN agent navigating an odor‑style gradient in a simulated grid‑world, running more than 4,000 hours of real‑time interactions. Twelve configurations consistently outperformed silicon‑based DQN agents within the same interaction budget, demonstrating the framework’s potential for scalable, goal‑oriented learning with BNNs.

A Neuromorphic Reinforcement Learning Framework for Efficient Pathfinding in Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems

arXiv:2606. 20031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic environmental changes, confined workspaces, and stringent real-time constraints make pathfinding in Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS) a challenging problem for conventional search- and rule-based methods, which typically suffer from high computational complexity and long decision latency.

NeuroWeaver: An Autonomous Evolutionary Agent for Exploring the Programmatic Space of EEG Analysis Pipelines

NeuroWeaver is an autonomous evolutionary agent that designs EEG analysis pipelines by framing pipeline engineering as a discrete constrained optimization problem solved with large language model–driven code generation. It uses a Domain‑Informed Subspace Initialization to keep the search within neuroscientifically plausible solutions and a Multi‑Objective Evolutionary Optimization to balance performance, novelty, and efficiency. On five diverse benchmarks, NeuroWeaver produces lightweight pipelines that outperform state‑of‑the‑art task‑specific methods and match or exceed large foundation models while using far fewer parameters.
