The University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship exploring the evolutionary basis of emotions and mood in decision-making. The project uses evolutionary modelling and neural networks to identify adaptive emotion‑based systems for real‑world scenarios.
It compares these systems with unemotional Bayesian approaches across contexts like foraging in dangerous environments and mating competition to reveal when emotions are evolutionarily advantageous.
