Abstract

A novel approach for detection of Volterra type nonlinearity in the neurocardiovascular system based on cyclic mean analysis is presented. Metronome breathing is employed to provide a sinusoidal input to the neurocardiovascular system in which Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Blood Pressure Variation (BPV) are considered as its outputs. The presence of (self) frequency coupling detected by cyclic mean analysis reveals the existence of a polynomial nonlinearity in HRV and BPV
