References

This bibliography tracks public scientific and technical references relevant to MorphoSNN. It is not a claim that MorphoSNN has reproduced or validated the results of these works. References are grouped by role in the project.

1. Arthropod Motor Control

This section covers distributed motor control, ventral nerve cord organization, segmental ganglia, and insect-inspired locomotion.

TODO: Add public primary references on arthropod motor circuits, distributed locomotor coordination, and insect-inspired control.

Relevance: Supports MorphoSNN's use of distributed local control as an engineering abstraction.

2. Central Pattern Generators

3. Neuromodulation

  • TODO: Add primary references on neuromodulation of small rhythmic networks and functional circuit reconfiguration. Relevance: Supports MorphoSNN's global modulation / local controller parameter-shift abstraction.

4. Reflex Reversal and Sensory Feedback

  • TODO: Add references on phase-dependent reflex routing, mechanosensory feedback, campaniform sensilla, and insect locomotor reflexes. Relevance: Supports the sensory reflex loop abstraction.

5. Efference Copy and Forward Models

  • TODO: Add references on efference copy, forward models, and prediction-error correction in sensorimotor control. Relevance: Supports the forward model / prediction-error loop.

6. Morphological Computation

  • TODO: Add references on morphological computation, embodied intelligence, and preflexes. Relevance: Supports the claim that morphology and compliance can participate in control.

7. Spring-Mass Template and Preflexes

  • TODO: Add public references for Open X-Embodiment, Octo, OpenVLA, Diffusion Policy, and parameter-efficient adaptation. Relevance: Supports future low-data adaptation and multimodal policy-learning direction.

11. Notes on Use

  • NotebookLM-generated slide decks are treated as conceptual/explanatory materials, not primary references.
  • Primary literature should be used for formal claims.
  • This bibliography is expected to evolve as the project moves from seed repo to validated implementation.

12. Neural Manifold, Representation Similarity, and Task Efficiency References to Add

This section is a placeholder for public, verifiable references that support the RFP-oriented neural-manifold and representation-alignment layer. Exact citation details should be added only after checking primary sources.

Neural Population Geometry

  • TODO: Add primary references on neural population manifolds, low-dimensional latent dynamics, and population geometry in sensorimotor systems. Relevance: Supports the proposed geometry-quantification layer without claiming biological fidelity.

Task-Dependent Neural Manifolds

  • TODO: Add primary references on task-conditioned neural representations, manifold remapping, and state-dependent population trajectories. Relevance: Supports comparing representation geometry across behaviorally meaningful task conditions.

Representation Similarity / CKA / RSA

  • TODO: Add verified references for centered kernel alignment, representational similarity analysis, Procrustes-style alignment, and related neural-network representation comparison methods. Relevance: Supports candidate ANN/SNN representation alignment metrics.

Manifold Alignment / Capacity Theory

  • TODO: Add verified references on manifold alignment, classification capacity, separability, margins, curvature, and intrinsic dimensionality in learned representations. Relevance: Supports linking geometry metrics to design and optimization guidance.

Neuromorphic/SNN Benchmarking

  • TODO: Add public references on SNN benchmarking, event activity proxies, energy-aware evaluation, and neuromorphic task protocols. Relevance: Supports measurable task-efficiency proxies for ANN/SNN comparison.

Robotics Task-Family Validation

  • TODO: Add public references on modular robotics, soft robotics, morphology-aware control benchmarks, perturbation recovery, and low-data adaptation protocols. Relevance: Supports robotics as a first constrained validation family rather than a final application boundary.
