Abstract
A real-time detection technique and a real-time, adaptive, model-independent control technique for detecting and stabilizing pathological physiological rhythms, such as repolarization alternans, on the basis of the rate dependence of excitable tissue such as cardiac and neuronal tissue is presented. Unlike other control methods, which require a number of beats to locate the period-1 fixed point, the technique locates the period-1 fixed point almost instantaneously, rapidly eliminating any higher-period or aperiodic rhythms.
