We use (a) 2-photon microscopy to image the brainstem cell activity ([Ca2+]) in the pre-Boetzinger complex, and (b) electrical recordings from the phrenic nerve, which indicate the diaphragm contraction during inspiration. We classify the brainstem regions (individual cells or groups of cells) into 'active' and 'inactive', based on whether they contribute or not to the individual electrical signal peaks. As features, we use the Continuous Wavelet Transform-based Semblance responses, for comparing non-periodic and/or periodic-like signals. We use our novel Generative Mixture Model (GMM) possibilistic clustering to obtain the desired classes robustly. This way, we model the inspiration control as a physiological process, which is a crucial step towards understanding how the living brain controls breathing | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/2911 | ISBN: | 978-1-4244-4125-9 (print) | ISSN: | 978-1-4244-4126-6 (online) | DOI: | 10.1109/ISBI.2010.5490412 | Rights: | © 2010 IEEE | Type: | Book Chapter | Affiliation : | University of Miami |
