Organisms show complex behaviour resulting from a trade-off between obtaining information (explore) and using current information (exploit). Biswas et al. observe a mode-switching strategy modulated by sensory salience in a diverse range of organisms, including electric fish and humans, and argue that the observed heuristic could inform the design of active-sensing behaviours in robotics.
