MS13
Dynamical Data Analysis in Biology

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Ballroom III

The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss current applications of time series analysis and control techniques in biological settings. The applications include the control of a cardiac arrhythmia; a dynamical characterization of tremor; the dynamics of a network of neurons in the mammalian hippocampus; and identifying saddle periodic points in noisy experimental time series.

Organizers: Eric Kostelich
Arizona State University
Timothy Sauer
George Mason University
