Abstract

A technique for modeling vagal control of heart period using a black box approach is proposed. Vagal stimulus frequency is perturbed using a pseudo random binary sequence. Algorithms and software to perform this modeling are described. Brief results from five experiments in the anesthetized cat are presented. The formulation of the model structure, identification of its order and estimation of parameter values is considered for the case of a linear, time-invariant system. Both cross-correlation techniques and parametric models are investigated. Limitations and advantages of this modeling approach are discussed
