 The goal of this work is to understand how neural tissue can be programmed so as to execute pre-determined functions. We developed a research tool that includes the brainstem of a lamprey and a two-wheeled robot interconnected in a closed loop. We report here the development of a framework for studying the dynamics of the neural tissue based on the interaction of this tissue with the robot.
