Variational and phase response analysis for limit cycles with hard boundaries, with applications to neuromechanical control problems

The paper analyzes robustness in a neuromechanical model of Aplysia feeding by studying shape and timing responses to perturbations, finding nonlinear biomechanical properties confer resilience while sensory feedback delays effects due to firing rate boundaries.

Differential contributions of synaptic and intrinsic inhibitory currents to speech segmentation via flexible phase-locking in neural oscillators

The paper investigates how synaptic and intrinsic inhibitory currents contribute to flexible phase-locking in neural oscillators, enabling speech segmentation by identifying vocalic nuclei.
