Dear Gaute,
How are you? I assume that your podcast is taking off? I am looking
you up also to let you know
that perhaps next summer we could meet up at Oslo, we are teaching
at Yasser's summer school and then
go to Svalbard. It will be around July 24-25th or something when we
pass by Oslo on our way to Svalbard
I noticed that your podcast had a new episode, on CPG in spinal
cord, with guest Henrik Linden.
I am just listening to it now. Your intro said that they used a
network model to explain that
oscillations emerge in a network. We did it in a Physical Review
Letter paper in 2004, see
Zhaoping L. Lewis A. Scarpetta S. Mathematical
analysis and
simulations of the
neural circuit for
locomotion in lamprey.
Physical Review
Letters 92, 198106
(2004). Abstract
I remember that in a meeting
organized by Stan Grillner,
I presented this work and
you told me that Dayan and
Abbott should put this
in their textbook in the
next edition. Well, the next
edition never happened.
I wonder whether Linden's
model is an extension of our
model, I had a quick look,
it seems that it was mainly
a
data analysis, while ours is
a analytical treatment with
simulations, but I am
listening to your podcast
now ...
best regards and hope to see
you around, are you going to
COSYNE? This year it is in
Lisbon, so I am going, you?
Zhaoping
