The cognitive layer of deformable organism is responsible for the decision making process. Essentially, this is the brain of the organism. It monitors the status, of the behaviors, deformations and sensors and makes decisions based upon their states and outputs.
This class exploits much of the complex versatility of the framework obtained through the use of ABCs, and IO streams and structures. Through a single list of sensors and behaviors, the cognitive center can perform a variety of actions on any defined geometrical or physical type. For example, the decision to "translate" will trigger a translate behavior, which will in turn trigger the appropriate translate deformation as it pertains to the particular physical layer of the model. By that same notion, the decision to sense the eccentricity of the model will trigger the appropriate sensor.

| virtual bool mial::ControlCenter< Type, nDims >::update | ( | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Update the cognitive layer (think!).
If there is no current behavior, decide on one and run. Otherwise, if the behavior is finished clean it up then decide and run a new one. Otherwise keep running the current.

std::vector<typename Behavior<Type,nDims>::Pointer> mial::ControlCenter< Type, nDims >::behaviorList [protected] |
The list of behaviors known to the cognitive center.
The cognitive center maintains a list of named behaviors that it may run. Consequently, each behavior must be of the appropriate data type and dimensionality.
