The 778th IMS Colloquium

Seminar & Events Detail

Lecture Title	" Nonlinear Neurodynamical Control of the Heart of Crustaceans：Forecasting a Cardiac Arrest"
Date	Wednesday 30 November 2005 16:00
Lecturer	Prof. Toru Yazawa （Biophysical Cardiology Research Group, TokyoMetropolitanUniversity）
Place	201 Seminar Room, Main Office Building of IMS
Summary	We analyzed the heartbeat of crustacean animals, using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The EKG was recorded from freely moving animals in normal conditions and then in terminal conditions until the life came to an end. We found that the scaling exponents calculated by DFA characterized quantitatively conditions of the cardiac control system. We propose that scaling exponents can represent whether the subjects are under sick or healthy conditions.
