Synchronization and rhythmic processes in physiology

L Glass - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
Complex bodily rhythms are ubiquitous in living organisms. These rhythms arise from
stochastic, nonlinear biological mechanisms interacting with a fluctuating environment …

What is stochastic resonance? Definitions, misconceptions, debates, and its relevance to biology

MD McDonnell, D Abbott - PLoS computational biology, 2009 - journals.plos.org
Stochastic resonance is said to be observed when increases in levels of unpredictable
fluctuations—eg, random noise—cause an increase in a metric of the quality of signal …

Noise‐enhanced balance control in patients with diabetes and patients with stroke

AA Priplata, BL Patritti, JB Niemi, R Hughes… - Annals of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Objective Somatosensory function declines with diabetic neuropathy and often with stroke,
resulting in diminished motor performance. Recently, it has been shown that input noise can …

Heart rate variability

G Ernst - 2014 - Springer
Organisms have rhythms, such as the rhythms of the cardiac and respiratory systems,
endocrinological networks, brain circuits, awake–sleep rhythms, and so on. All these …

Quantifying fractal dynamics of human respiration: age and gender effects

CK Peng, JE Mietus, Y Liu, C Lee, JM Hausdorff… - Annals of biomedical …, 2002 - Springer
We sought to quantify the fractal scaling properties of human respiratory dynamics and
determine whether they are altered with healthy aging and gender. Continuous respiratory …

Physiological complexity, aging, and the path to frailty

LA Lipsitz - Science of aging knowledge environment, 2004 - science.org
Healthy physiological processes require the complex interaction of multiple control systems
operating over multiple time scales. The output of these processes (for example, heart rate …
