NeuroAI and Beyond: Bridging Between Advances in Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence
Anthony Zador, Jean-Marc Fellous, Terrence Sejnowski +28
Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made impressive progress in recent years but remain only loosely interconnected. Based on a workshop convened by the National Sci…
A Bioinspired Synthetic Nervous System Controller for Pick-and-Place Manipulation
Yanjun Li, Ravesh Sukhnandan, Jeffrey P. Gill +3
The Synthetic Nervous System (SNS) is a biologically inspired neural network (NN). Due to its capability of capturing complex mechanisms underlying neural computation, an SNS model…
SLUGBOT, an Aplysia-inspired Robotic Grasper for Studying Control
Kevin Dai, Ravesh Sukhnandan, Michael Bennington +6
Living systems can use a single periphery to perform a variety of tasks and adapt to a dynamic environment. This multifunctionality is achieved through the use of neural circuitry…
Variational and phase response analysis for limit cycles with hard boundaries, with applications to neuromechanical control problems
Yangyang Wang, Jeffrey P. Gill, Hillel J. Chiel +1
Motor systems show an overall robustness, but because they are highly nonlinear, understanding how they achieve robustness is difficult. In many rhythmic systems, robustness agains…
Control for Multifunctionality: Bioinspired Control Based on Feeding in Aplysia californica
Victoria A. Webster-Wood, Jeffrey P. Gill, Peter J. Thomas +1
Animals exhibit remarkable feats of behavioral flexibility and multifunctional control that remain challenging for robotic systems. The neural and morphological basis of multifunct…
Shape versus timing: linear responses of a limit cycle with hard boundaries under instantaneous and static perturbation
Yangyang Wang, Jeffrey P. Gill, Hillel J. Chiel +1
When dynamical systems that produce rhythmic behaviors operate within hard limits, they may exhibit limit cycles with sliding components, that is, closed isolated periodic orbits t…
The Infinitesimal Phase Response Curves of Oscillators in Piecewise Smooth Dynamical Systems
Youngmin Park, Kendrick M. Shaw, Hillel J. Chiel +1
The asymptotic phase of an initial point in the stable manifold of a limit cycle identifies the phase of the point on the limit cycle to which the flow converges a…
Phase Resetting in an Asymptotically Phaseless System: On the Phase Response of Limit Cycles Verging on a Heteroclinic Orbit
Kendrick M. Shaw, Hillel J. Chiel, Peter J. Thomas
Rhythmic behaviors in neural systems often combine features of limit cycle dynamics (stability and periodicity) with features of near heteroclinic or near homoclinic cycle dynamics…
Information Maximization Fails to Maximize Expected Utility in a Simple Foraging Model
Edward K. Agarwala, Hillel J. Chiel, Peter J. Thomas
Information theory has explained the organization of many biological phenomena, from the physiology of sensory receptive fields to the variability of certain DNA sequence ensembles…
