SUMMARY:Holk Cruse (Bielefeld University): neuroWalknet\, a decentralized\,
  context sensitive controller to explain insect walking
DESCRIPTION:Holk Cruse: Legged locomotion comprises various tasks as are st
 anding still\, walking with different footfall patterns (or „gaits“)\,
  different velocities\, forward or backward\, negotiation of curves with d
 ifferent radii\, dealing with disturbances\, controlling stance\, swing\, 
 and searching (and other behaviors as e.g. jumping or swimming). Here we s
 how a controller for hexapod walking\, neuroWalknet\, that is considered p
 art of a larger decentralized hierarchy\, consisting of context sensitive 
 local controllers being arranged at different levels of organization. neur
 oWalknet is able to describe and perhaps explain a large amount of behavio
 ral data plus “behavior” of partly or fully deafferented animals\, kno
 wn e.g. from stick insect experiments. Although it has often been postulat
 ed that these behaviors are based on application of central pattern genera
 tors\, our network shows that such elements are not necessary to explain t
 he data. In contrast\, not using CPGs may simplify its performance. Theref
 ore\, following Popper\, we propose to endorse the simpler solution as bes
 t hypothesis.\nhttps://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/j
