Abstract
It has been hypothesized that sensory feedback is a critical component in determining the functionality of a central pattern generator. To test this, Yu and Thomas's recent work Yu and Thomas (Biol Cybern 115(2):135-160, 2021) built a model of a half-center oscillator coupled to a simple muscular model with sensory feedback. They showed that sensory feedback increases robustness against external noise, while simultaneously expanding the potential repertoire of functions the half-center oscillator can perform. However, they show that this comes at the cost of robustness against internal noise.Entities:
