Vertebrate spinal cord and brainstem central pattern generator (CPG) circuits share profound similarities with neocortical circuits. CPGs can produce meaningful functional output in the absence of ...

All the latest science news on central pattern generator from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Central pattern generator (CPG) networks produce the rhythmic motor patterns that underlie critical behaviors such as breathing, walking, and heartbeat. The fidelity of these neural circuits in ...

Scientists have built a pair of robotic legs that mimic our own by using a computational equivalent of the central pattern generator found in our nervous system.

AI-CPG: Adaptive Imitated Central Pattern Generators for Bipedal Locomotion Learned Through Reinforced Reflex Neural Networks. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters , 2024; 9 (6): 5190 DOI: 10.1109 ...

The robot, designed by a team lead by Takashi Ikegami of the University of Tokyo and Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University, runs on a "central pattern generator" that has networks that act ...

In the on-going search for a better understanding of how the brain and central nervous system develop, a potentially powerful new tool could soon be available. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley ...

But it is also a waveform generator, a DC power supply, a pattern generator, and a network analyzer. I’ve looked at devices like this before. Some are better than others, but usually all the ...

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...

The technology powering this involves 42 pneumatic actuators and, most importantly, a "central pattern generator." That CPG has a neutral network that replicates neurons, ...

Central pattern generator controls sleep states. In their study, the researchers found that the features of the lizard's ...
