Internal sensory models allow for balance control using muscle spindle acceleration feedback.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Motor control requires sensory feedback, and the nature of this feedback has implications for the tasks of the central nervous system (CNS): for an approximately linear mechanical system (e.g., a freely standing person, a rider on a bicycle), if the ...

Smart Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Using a Bend Sensor like a Human Muscle with a Muscle Spindle.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Shortage of labor and increased work of young people are causing problems in terms of care and welfare of a growing proportion of elderly people. This is a looming social problem because people of advanced ages are increasing. Necessary in the fields...

Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part II: the role of fusimotor drive.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: We studied the fundamentals of muscle afferentation by building a Neuro-mechano-morphic system actuating a cadaveric finger. This system is a faithful implementation of the stretch reflex circuitry. It allowed the systematic exploration of...

Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part I: the methodology and implementation.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: One goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create 'realistic' robotic systems that interact with the physical world by adopting neuromechanical principles from biology. Critical to this is the methodology to implement the spinal circuitry ...

Emergence of gamma motor activity in an artificial neural network model of the corticospinal system.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Muscle spindle discharge during active movement is a function of mechanical and neural parameters. Muscle length changes (and their derivatives) represent its primary mechanical, fusimotor drive its neural component. However, neither the action nor t...
