Major Research Theme
Our research is conducted under the auspices of the Margret and H.A. Rey Institute for Nonlinear Dynamics in Physiology and Medicine, and the NIH Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals (www.physionet.org). The work is devoted to making databases and software available to other researchers and to basic research in the analysis of complex signals to extract information with relevance to basic mechanisms and bedside diagnostics. The research is highly interdisciplinary and involves the interactions of physiologists, clinicians, physicists, and bioengineers. A major theme of the work is understanding the complex, fractal/nonlinear variability in the healthy function of many different integrative feedback systems and the breakdown of this complexity with aging and disease.
