TLDR
This paper illustrates how recurrence plots can take single physiological measurements, project them into multidimensional space by embedding procedures, and identify time correlations (recurrences) that are not apparent in the one-dimensional time series.Abstract:
Physiological systems are best characterized as complex dynamical processes that are continuously subjected to and updated by nonlinear feedforward and feedback inputs. System outputs usually exhibit wide varieties of behaviors due to dynamical interactions between system components, external noise perturbations, and physiological state changes. Complicated interactions occur at a variety of hierarchial levels and involve a number of interacting variables, many of which are unavailable for experimental measurement. In this paper we illustrate how recurrence plots can take single physiological measurements, project them into multidimensional space by embedding procedures, and identify time correlations (recurrences) that are not apparent in the one-dimensional time series. We extend the original description of recurrence plots by computing an array of specific recurrence variables that quantify the deterministic structure and complexity of the plot. We then demonstrate how physiological states can be assessed by making repeated recurrence plot calculations within a window sliding down any physiological dynamic. Unlike other predominant time series techniques, recurrence plot analyses are not limited by data stationarity and size constraints. Pertinent physiological examples from respiratory and skeletal motor systems illustrate the utility of recurrence plots in the diagnosis of nonlinear systems. The methodology is fully applicable to any rhythmical system, whether it be mechanical, electrical, neural, hormonal, chemical, or even spacial.read more

Use of Fiber-optic Strain Sensors and Holder Exponents for Detecting and Localizing Damage in an Experimental Plate Structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed network of nine fiber-optic strain sensors is used to acquire time series data from a rectangular steel plate where damage is considered as a cut of varying lengths.

A Heart for Interaction: Shared Physiological Dynamics and Behavioral Coordination in a Collective, Creative Construction Task
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the presence, temporal development, possible mechanisms and impact of shared interpersonal heart rate dynamics during individual and collective creative LEGO construction tasks and found that shared HR dynamics are driven by a plurality of sources including task constraints and behavioral coordination.

Heart Rate Variability: A New Tool to Predict Complications in Adult Cardiac Surgery

TL;DR: Although future larger studies are warranted before HRV can be included into daily clinical practice in adult cardiac surgery, HRV is a novel tool which might detect autonomic instability in the early postoperative phase and during hospital stay, thus predicting or prompt-diagnosing many of the post-operative complications.

Is there a chronic sleep stage-dependent linear and nonlinear cardiac autonomic impairment in obstructive sleep apnea?
Renata Trimer,Renata Gonçalves Mendes,Fernando de Souza Melo Costa,Luciana Maria Malosá Sampaio,Antonio Delfino,Ross Arena,Federico Aletti,Manuela Ferrario,Audrey Borghi-Silva +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, MiOSA subjects failed to show the expected linear HRV difference between sleep stages, as observed in NonOSA, which may represent an early onset of autonomic impairment at this stage of OSA.

TL;DR: A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system can be utilized to automatically screen the eyes and give an accurate diagnosis of the type of ARMD, and can be used as a practical adjunct ARMD screening tool in the clinical setting.

Measuring the Strangeness of Strange Attractors
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation exponent v is introduced as a characteristic measure of strange attractors which allows one to distinguish between deterministic chaos and random noise, and algorithms for extracting v from the time series of a single variable are proposed.

Embeddings and delays as derived from quantification of recurrence plots
TL;DR: Recurrence plots have been advocated as a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of dynamical time series by quantifying certain features of these plots which may be helpful in determining embeddings and delays.

Fundamental limitations for estimating dimensions and Lyapunov exponents in dynamical systems
Jean-Pierre Eckmann,David Ruelle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the correlation dimension of the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm cannot exceed the value 2 log 10N if N is the number of points in the time series, and when this bound is saturated it is thus not legitimate to conclude that low dimensional dynamics is present.
