title: Coupled oscillators approach in analysis of physiological data.
abstract: We discuss the usage of the coupled oscillators approach in analysis of bivariate physiological data, taking the cardio-respiratory interaction as an example. These model-based techniques allow us to detect and quantify the strength and directionality of weak interaction, as well as to estimate the delay(s) in coupling. We present both theoretical description of the technique and its algorithmic implementation.
