Computational investigation of the neuromechanical problem for swimming

Description:

In fish, caudally propagating waves of neural activity produce muscle bending moments. These moments, coupled with forces due to the body's elastic properties and forces due to fluid-body interactions, determine the deformation kinematics for swimming. Fully resolved simulations of neurally-activated swimming can be used to decode activation patterns underlying observed...
