A reinvestigation of the Geman-Miller respiratory oscillator model.
The model of Geman-Miller of the respiratory oscillator is reinvestigated for its interpretation of the parameters: W and T. It was found that the interpretation of Geman-Miller, that the parameters T and W represent the chemosensitive feedback, is incorrect. The extension to the model made by Engeman and Swanson is not necessary to produce afterdischarge. It is demonstrated that the afterdischarge can be predicted in the original Geman-Miller model from the Jacobian Matrix.
