This document summarizes a study on using artificial neural networks to evolve self-organizing cellular automata. The researchers agree that using a genotypic template based on a neural network for each cell has potential for generating complex self-organizing systems that can recreate images. Their experiments evolving cellular automata with this neural network approach did not produce concrete results but provide evidence it is a promising area for further research. They were able to recreate simple patterns like flags but struggled with complex images like the Mona Lisa, indicating the need for improved fitness functions and more connections between neurons.
