ca.nengo.model.muscle.impl.CriticallyDampedMuscle

All Implemented Interfaces:

SkeletalMuscle, Node, Probeable, Resettable, SimulationMode.ModeConfigurable, VisiblyMutable, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class CriticallyDampedMuscle
extends SkeletalMuscleImpl

A simple, phenomenological muscle model in which activation-force dynamics are modelled with a linear 2nd-order low-pass filter (see e.g. Winter, 1990, Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement).

This type of model is most viable in isometric conditions.
