Learning from biological systems modeling neural control.

Learning from biological systems modeling neural control.

We have been pursuing a modular approach to modeling and investigating the neural control of posture and movement. A modular approach is a practical and natural way of investigating the function and structure of the complex central nervous system (CNS). The modules can include skeletal dynamics, mus...
