abstract

It is known that physiological interactions between different organs occur at multiple levels to optimize their functions and synchronize their dynamics. Decoding these interactions is an important challenge since the organ systems are complex. This complexity is the result of interactions of multicomponent sub-systems and leads to scale-invariant output signals (e.g., EEG signals). Therefore, analysis of the physiological signals is very important to decode the connection between different organs. In this seminar, we will discuss the application of complexity-based methods (e.g., fractal theory) to quantify the complex structure of physiological signals and accordingly decode their correlation in different conditions under the network physiology. We will also discuss how the developments in this field will enhance research and applications in other fields.
