Abstract
It is shown that populations of individual signal patterns in the central n ervous system, may be adapted for maximum mean fitness in about the same ma nner as populations of organisms in the Darwinian evolution of natural syst ems. This is also consistent with the Hebbian rule of associative learning and the maximum-entropy-principle according to the second law of thermodyna mics. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
