Resumo

A four-channel neural pattern generator is described in which both the frequency and the relative phase of oscillations are controlled by a scalar arousal or GO signal. The generator is used to simulate quadruped gaits; in particular, rapid transitions are simulated in the order - walk, trot, pace, and gallop - that occurs in the cat. Precise switching control is achieved by using an arousal dependent modulation of the model's inhibitory interactions. This modulation generates a different functional connectivity in a single network at different arousal levels.
