Abstract
The value of implementing mathematical models in Simulink is demonstrated through an overview of the challenges involved when determining the dynamic response of non-linear systems. This overview is demonstrated by using an example of the baroreceptor nerve (and its response to blood pressure changes) as a non-linear system which can be modelled and simulated in Simulink. The simulated results indicate that a comparison can be made to actual short-term experimental data and simulated data to validate the model. Thereafter, the simulated model can be tested using artificial long-term inputs which infer a non-linear system's dynamic response. This method would be valuable for any research or design where a non-linear physical system's dynamic response would be otherwise experimentally expensive or impossible.
