An analytical and experimental investigation of respiratory dynamics using P/D control and carbon dioxide feedback

This thesis addresses the problem of defining the control law for human respiration. Seven different drivers have been identified as possibly having an input to the respiratory controller. These seven represent a combination of feedforward and feedback inputs arising from neural and humoral mecha...
