Asymmetrical Reflex Control

Hi Dr. Geijtenbeek,

I hope you are having a wonderful day. I was curious if there is a way to adjust the "target" and "source" bodies within the Geyer and Herr reflex controller to only act on one side for some of the muscles. I would like to keep symmetry for all of the muscles except for the plantarflexors, in which the right side should not be affected by the reflex controller at all. I do remember you mentioning how to adjust this in a previous post, but I wasn't able to find it again.

Thank you so much and have a wonderful rest of your day!

Best,
Eric

You can create a single-sided ReflexController by adding a dual_sided = 0 statement, and then specifying the side in the reflex

Code: Select all

ReflexController {
	dual_sided = 0
	Reflex {
		target = gastroc_r
		...
	}
	...
}
