Synchronous Propagation of Periodic Signals in Feedforward Networks of Standard Model Neurons
Periodic signals propagating along chains are common in biology, for example in locomotion and peristalsis, and are also of interest for continuum robots. In previous work we constructed such networks as 'feedforward lifts' of a central pattern generator (CPG). When the CPG undergoes periodic oscillations, created by Hopf bifurcation or other mechanisms, it can then transmit periodic signals along one or more feedforward chains in a synchronous or phase-synchronous manner. We proved necessary a…
