Nonlinear dynamics of physiological function and control.
Complex rhythms are observed in the physiological systems that control and carry out vital bodily functions. Theoretical approaches to analyze the physiological systems include control theory and computation theory. Complementary to these approaches is nonlinear dynamics, which offers ways to classify both normal and abnormal dynamics, and to analyze bifurcations occurring in physiological dynamics.
