Fig. 2. Each NSI’s response to a ramp and hold stimulus in the insect (a) and in our
simulation (b). The interneurons are only modulated by active motion of the limb,
rather than sustained position. The exact nature of the modulation (excitation, inhibition, or neither) varies depending on the category of interneuron. Our simulated NSI
exhibit similar trends to the biological system with similar stimuli, showing that our
model adequately simulates known biological behaviors.
