Eric, I have a fuzzy recollection that he might have open source code of some sort, either from the Googletech talk, from his web page, or form one of the two articles of his I read on the subject months ago. But I don't know for sure.
Check these sources out, and if they don't answer the question, why don't you send a brief polite email to geof at the email address on his web site. He responded to a message I sent him with a brief, but helpful reply.

I'd like to try them myself if possible. What I'm doing now closely approximates character recognition... also I wonder if they would evolve richer behaviours in a standard ecology sim than Hebbian nets.
