“…While the exploration of neural structures both in-vitro and in-silico has been the subject of extensive studies, these rely on the result of millions of years of evolution, in the specific conditions of biological life. Indeed either through analysis of the neural pathways of the animal brain (Ledoux, 1998), the use of identified key cerebral regions to produce plausible artificial behavior (de Freitas et al, 2007;Delgado-Mata et al, 2007;Lotfi and Akbarzadeh-T., 2014) or mathematical approaches (Broekens et al, 2015), all such methodologies rely on the initial bias of our evolutionary history. As previously argued, we postulate that the emergence of structures in an arbitrary substrate is not limited to the variations around our biological example.…”

Understanding the neurological implementation of emotions is a major research subject from biology to computer sciences that, in the latter case, takes many shapes: from accurate detection of human emotions to the emulation of plausible responses to stimuli. There is, however, room for a more bottom-up approach in which we would thrive to recreate emotions from undifferentiated elementary building blocks.In this article, we used virtual creatures that interact with their environment through a low-level perception/cognition/action loop to demonstrate their potential for fear responses. Embedded in a physical environment in a typical prey/predator setting, they develop strategies for foraging while minimizing their exposure to danger.
