Strategies for swimming: explorations of the behaviour of a neuro-musculo-mechanical model of the lamprey

Experiments were performed on a neuro-musculo-mechanical model of a lamprey, to explore the strategies for controlling swimming speed. The muscle component of the model was based on previous experiments on isolated lamprey muscle. The patterns of muscle activation were those found in EMG studies on...
