Suppressing epileptic activity in a neural mass model using a closed-loop proportional-integral controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
Closed-loop control is a promising deep brain stimulation (DBS) strategy that could be used to suppress high-amplitude epileptic activity. However, there are currently no analytical approaches to determine the stimulation parameters for effective and safe treatment protocols. Proportional-integral (PI) control is the most extensively used closed-loop control scheme in the field of control engineering because of its simple implementation and perfect performance. In this study, we took Jansen's neural mass model (NMM) as a test bed to develop a PI-type closed-loop controller for suppressing epileptic activity. A graphical stability analysis method was employed to determine the stabilizing region of the PI controller in the control parameter space, which provided a theoretical guideline for the choice of the PI control parameters. Furthermore, we established the relationship between the parameters of the PI controller and the parameters of the NMM in the form of a stabilizing region, which provided insights into the mechanisms that may suppress epileptic activity in the NMM. The simulation results demonstrated the validity and effectiveness of the proposed closed-loop PI control scheme.

Robust H_∞ Controller design based on Generalized Dynamic Observer for Uncertain Singular system with Disturbance
This paper presents a robust ∞_H controller design, based on a generalized dynamic observer for uncertain singular systems in the presence of disturbance. The controller guarantees that the closed loop system be admissible. The main advantage of this method is that the uncertainty can be found in the system, the input and the output matrices. Also the generalized dynamic observer is used to est...

In this paper, stabilization of the structural system against earthquake is presented. Because the conventional PD controller is popular and simple in design, our controller is based on PD controller. The main problem of such a controller is its inability to produce desired response and instability against variations in the properties of the structural system. To obviate this issue, the neu...

A simple and new procedure has been developed for the PI controller tuning of an unidentified process using closed-loop responses. The method requires only one step test in the closed-loop system to obtain the proportional gain and integral time. The step test is a setpoint change performed with a proportional only controller while disabling any integral and derivative action. From the setpoint...

متن کاملA New Control Strategy for Controlling Isolated Microgrid
Microgrid control in isolated mode is a highly important subject area. In the present paper, a new method is used for controlling the isolated microgrids. This method was used based on the classification of the microgrids into two groups, namely fast-dynamic (battery and flywheel) and slow-dynamic (diesel generator, electrolyzer, fuel cell). For the microgrid components with fast dynamics, a se...
