Whether true deterministic chaos is frequent in such systems is questionable. Nonetheless, nonlinear dynamics provides a tool for understanding noisy phenomena. We demonstrate this in a model of respiration: the Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) equations have been modified and solved with varying degrees of additive random noise. The results give the appearance of true chaotic dynamics. We explain these findings in terms of transiency and metastability.","PeriodicalId":297811,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Volume 13: 1991","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128622479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this imaging technique, light in the infrared or near-infrared region is pulsed into tissue. Escaping light is detected at various points in a time-resolved manner; these data contain information about the structum through which the light has passed. Our proposed method for recovering localized three-dimensional information from such data includes computerized modelling of the migration of light photons through tissue. Here we present one approach to such modelling.","PeriodicalId":297811,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Volume 13: 1991","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128734913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fluctuations due to respiration are called respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Since RSA is primarily mediated through the autonomic nervous system (ANS), it is of interest to separate RSA from other influences to assess the underlying ANS function. On the other hand, the RSA may obscure heart rate responses to external manipulations in psychophysiological tests. A method of partitioning the HRV signal which can provide quantitative estimate of RSA as well as true heart rate responses without respiratory disturbances for psychophysiological studies is developed. The analysis of HRV signal is performed using an adaptive filtering system. With the simultaneously recorded respiration signal as a reference input, the HRV signal can be separated into two components, RSA and fluctuation due to other influences. After the separation, the variance of RSA, an estimate of cardiac vagal tone (ECVf), is readily obtained. The performance of the system was evaluated using artificial test signals as well as real HR V data. As a time domain approach, the method is simple, fast and robust.","PeriodicalId":297811,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Volume 13: 1991","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129841578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calf was under automatic electronic control the entire duration of the experiment, and tolerated weekly exercise very well. The cause of death in the animal was corrosion debris lodging between the rotor and stator; this corrosion debris was corrosion generated by the electric motor stack. Subsequent experiments utilize a coated stack to eliminate corrosion.","PeriodicalId":297811,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Volume 13: 1991","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130388423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
