Generating spatiotemporal joint torque patterns from dynamical synchronization of distributed pattern generators

Pattern generators found in the spinal cords are no more seen as simple rhythmic oscillators for motion control. Indeed, they achieve flexible and dynamical coordination in interaction with the body and the environment dynamics to rise motor synergies. Discovering the mechanisms underlying the contr...
