Dynamical dimension of a hybrid neurorobotic system

The goal of this work is to understand how neural tissue can be programed to execute predetermined functions. We developed a research tool that includes the brainstem of a lamprey and a two-wheeled robot interconnected in a closed loop. We report here the development of a framework for studying the...

Description
Summary:The goal of this work is to understand how neural tissue can be programed to execute predetermined functions. We developed a research tool that includes the brainstem of a lamprey and a two-wheeled robot interconnected in a closed loop. We report here the development of a framework for studying the dynamics of the neural tissue based on the interaction of this tissue with the robot.
