The worm brain as encoded in the Nematoduino model is simple. It is attracted to food and turns away when it senses collision. So, the experimental deployment of the worm model just tests out the codebase for what it is. Random inputs are passed to the worm's brain which trigger the chemotaxis and noseTouch functions as described earlier. This fires up the worm's muscles making it move.
The simulation runs on a simple CPU. You may be trusting the developer's claims on the worm's movement, but hopefully you aren't using the worm's coordinates for anything more than killing time.
