It also investigates two models of receptor response to stimulus levels. The results show that exponential decay of ions across the soma and of a receptor response function where intensity is proportional to intensity is the best combination for dark seeking behaviour. %B Proc. 4th International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks and Intelligent Information Processing (ANNIIP 2008) %I INSTICC (Inst.
