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.
