Important work by @nidhise.bsky.social discovering signatures of control for stable locomotion across species. Excited to see the models applied to diverse species as part of IMSI @movementscience.bsky.social
Excited that this work discovering cross-species signatures of stabilizing foot placement control is now out in PNAS!
