Metabolic Energy Expenditure Model

Metabolic energy expenditure models aim to quantify the energy consumption associated with biological processes, particularly focusing on movement and learning. Current research investigates the key parameters and input variables driving these models, employing both traditional mathematical approaches and neural networks, with a focus on improving accuracy and understanding the underlying physiological mechanisms. This research is crucial for advancing our understanding of biological systems, informing the design of more energy-efficient artificial systems, and potentially leading to improved estimations of energy expenditure in various contexts like human locomotion. The high energy cost of biological memory formation is also a significant area of investigation.
