In our study we investigated this relationship focusing on spatial distinction between the occipital and frontal brain region as well as slow (0.5–2 Hz) and fast (2–4 Hz) delta sub-bands. For this, we used a public EEG-fMRI dataset from 29 healthy young adults during wakefulness and early sleep stages. Our results show only slight changes in the correlation between EEG delta activity and CSF flow as individuals transitioned into light sleep. However, we observed differences within regions and frequency bands during sleep: Occipital delta activity exhibits a stronger correlation with CSF flow than frontal delta activity, and slow delta correlates more strongly than the fast delta sub-band.

The temperature distribution inside the substrate is modeled in a spatial plane, where heat conduction is considered in the direction, perpendicular to the direction of movement. In contrast to previous work, where scalar model parameters (e.g. the thermal parameters of the substrate) have been identified, here, the quantities for the heat transfer (heat transfer coefficient and air temperature) are identified as functions yielding a significantly improved fit to the measurement data. This improved system-identification is performed for two early-lumping modeling approaches, which differ in the way the advection term in the governing Partial Differential Equation is discretized: one uses Eulerian coordinates, where the computational grid is stationary, whereas the second employs Lagrangian coordinates where the grid is moving with the substrate. The differences of the two approaches are discussed with the main focus on numerical diffusion. Especially its impact on the system-identification is investigated: although the fit to the measurement is comparably good in both cases, very different solutions are obtained for the identified functions which, we argue, is due to the optimizer counteracting the smoothing effect of numerical diffusion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37894,"journal":{"name":"IFAC-PapersOnLine","volume":"59 1","pages":"Pages 85-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leveraging a model of glucose-insulin dynamics, MPC proactively adjusts insulin infusion based on the predicted impact of this action on glucose concentration level. Personalization strategies in MPC could be based on the use of individual-specific models and/or rely on the customization of the cost function. A comparison of these approaches seems to be missing in literature. Therefore, this work investigates three levels of individualization (of cost only, model only, and both cost and model) for a MPC-based AP system.
