  • Title: A neuromorphic hair sensor model of wind-mediated escape in the cricket.
    Author: Chapman T, Webb B.
    Journal: Int J Neural Syst; 1999 Oct; 9(5):397-403. PubMed ID: 10630468.
    Abstract:
    Crickets are able to extract directional information about a wind stimulus through the filiform hairs located on their cerci. This paper describes the design and testing of a neuromorphic sensor that aims to achieve a close correlation with both the physical and functional properties of these hairs. An integrate and fire neural network is used to process the sensory information in real time. The resulting system is shown to be capable of extracting directional information from a wind stimulus and producing an appropriate motor control pattern.
