Neural Networks for Real-Time Sensory Data Processing and Sensorimotor Control
Abstract
Our experimental work has focused upon a precise description of the wind fields for individual type A thoracic interneurons and beginning to describe the leg movements associated with individual leg motor neurons. In the first set of experiments, Songhai Chai (a graduate student supported on the ONR grant) has moved from his studies on paired GI responses to the wind responses of the thoracic interneurons that receive inputs from the GIs. Although the basic wind field properties for the entire population were described earlier (Westin et al, 1988), we do not have the precise wind fields for individual interneurons. This information is necessary for further development of the escape model and for future experiments that will utilize the computer model to determine the extent to which wind field properties are due to convergence of VGI inputs.
