Abstract

We celebrate the 60th anniversary of Biological Cybernetics. It has also been 30 years since "Self-organized control of bipedal locomotion by neural oscillators in unpredictable environment" was published in Biological Cybernetics (Taga et al. in Biol Cybern 65(3):147-159, 1991). I would like to look back on the creation of this paper and discuss its subsequent development and future perspectives.

Keywords: Bipedal locomotion; Brain development; CPG; Global entrainment; Motor development; Neural oscillator; Rhythm.
