Recording hawk moth brain signals

There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Recording hawk moth brain signals

A hawk moth (Manduca sexta) flaps its wings as tiny wires transmit the signals produced by its muscles to a computer for analysis. The research showed that millisecond changes in timing of the action potential spikes conveys the majority of information the moth uses to coordinate the muscles in its wings.
