Stable Synchronous Propagation in Feedforward Networks for Biped Locomotion
Ian Stewart, David Wood
Rhythmic gait patterns in animal locomotion are widely believed to be produced by a central pattern generator (CPG), a network of neurons that drives the muscle groups. In previous…

Synchronous Propagation of Periodic Signals in Feedforward Networks of Standard Model Neurons
Ian Stewart, David Wood
Periodic signals propagating along chains are common in biology, for example in locomotion and peristalsis, and are also of interest for continuum robots. In previous work we const…

Stable Synchronous Propagation of Signals by Feedforward Networks
Ian Stewart, David Wood
We analyse the dynamics of networks in which a central pattern generator (CPG) transmits signals along one or more feedforward chains in a synchronous or phase-synchronous manner.…
