These disciplines include biomedical engineering, signal processing, neural networks, medical imaging, and robotics and automation. Addressing the needs of a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering researchers, this book presents practicable, yet mathematically rigorous methodologies for constructing dynamic models of physiological systems. Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling of Physiological Systems provides the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date. Starting with the mathematical background upon which these methodologies are built, the book presents the methodologies that have been developed and used over the past thirty years. The text discusses implementation and computational issues and gives illustrative examples using both synthetic and experimental data. The author discusses the various modeling approaches-nonparametric, including the Volterra and Wiener models; parametric; modular; and connectionist-and clearly identifies their comparative advantages and disadvantages along with the key criteria that must guide successful practical application. Selected applications covered include neural and sensory systems, cardiovascular and renal systems, and endocrine and metabolic systems. This lucid and comprehensive text is a valuable reference and guide for the community of scientists and engineers who wish to develop and apply the skills of nonlinear modeling to physiological systems. |

Publisher Description: The study of nonlinearities in physiology has been hindered by the lack of effective ways to obtain nonlinear dynamic models from stimulus-response data in a practical context. A considerable body of knowledge has accumulated over the last thirty years in this area of research. This book summarizes that progress, and details the most recent methodologies that offer practical solutions to this daunting problem. Implementation and application are discussed, and examples are provided using both synthetic and actual experimental data. This essential study of nonlinearities in physiology apprises researchers and students of the latest findings and techniques in the field. |
