Abstract
Artificial biochemical networks (ABNs) are a class of computational automata whose architectures are motivated by the organisation of genetic and metabolic networks. In this work, we investigate whether evolved ABNs can carry out classification when stimulated with time series data collected from human subjects with and without Parkinson’s disease. The evolved ABNs have accuracies in the region of 80-90%, significantly higher than the diagnostic accuracies typically found in initial clinical diagnosis. We also show that relatively simple ABNs, comprising only a small number of discrete maps, are able to recognise the abnormal patterns of motor function associated with Parkinson’s disease.
