The Cardiovascular toolbox for Scilab

Participants : Claire Médigue, Michel Sorine, Serge Steer.

This Cardiovascular toolbox is an “atom” of Scilab developed by Serge Steer to distribute the cardiovascular signal processing tools designed and intensively used internally in the team for several years by Claire Médigue, Alessandro Monti and Michel Sorine. It includes baroreflex analysis using a multi channel non stationary signal analysis method ; the cardiovascular signal spectral analysis using time-frequency decomposition and signal demodulations methods, e.g. for respiratory sinus arrhythmia analysis. It replaces LARY_CR, the former software package dedicated to the study of cardiovascular and respiratory rhythms [108] .
