Decentralized control of insect walking: A simple neural network explains a wide range of behavioral and neurophysiological results.

Controlling the six legs of an insect walking in an unpredictable environment is a challenging task, as many degrees of freedom have to be coordinated. Solutions proposed to deal with this task are usually based on the highly influential concept that (sensory-modulated) central pattern generators (C...
