Analysis of pattern dynamics for a nonlinear model of the human cortex via bifurcation theories
(University of Waikato, 2014)This thesis examines the bifurcations, i.e., the emergent behaviours, for the Waikato cortical model under the influence of the gap-junction inhibitory diffusion D₂ (identified as the Turing bifurcation parameter) and the ... -
Modelling the spatial effects of the anaesthetic-induced phase-transition in the cerebral cortex
(University of Waikato, 2003)In this thesis I investigate the theoretical stochastic behaviour of a one-dimensional model of the cerebral cortex, exposed to varying concentrations of a general anaesthetic agent. The model is that of Steyn-Ross et al. ... -
Quantification of respiratory sinus arrhythmia by use of low order ARX models
(The University of Waikato, 1999)Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) is a change in the heart rate that corresponds to the frequency of respiration, but its causative mechanisms in humans remain only partially determined. In this thesis, models of the human ...
