After characterizing the performance, behavioral strategy and psychophysics of the bestevolved agent,its dynamics are analyzed in some detail at threedifferent levels 1 the entire coupled brainbodyenvironment sys tem 2 the interaction between agent andenvironment that generates the observed coupleddynam ics 3 the underlying neuronal properties responsiblefor the agent dynamics. This analysis offersboth explanatory insight and testable predictions. The paper concludes with discussions of the overall picturethat emerges from this analysis, the challengesthis picture poses to traditional notions ofrep resentation, and the utility of research methodology involvingthe analysis of simpler idealized mod els ofcomplete brainbodyenvironment systems.

Specifically, we study model agent whose nervous system was evolved using genetic algorithm to catchcircular objects and to avoid diamondshapedones. Postma, and J.
