Abstract :
Real systems exhibit in general nonlinear characteristics in their dynamic behavior. At the same time, advanced mathematical models of dynamic systems are more and more necessary for simulation, prediction and/or control. In this presentation we will go through the modeling procedure for a nonlinear system in the field of Biomechanical Engineering. The system involves the relation between imposed wrist motion and the voltage evoked in the brain as a reaction to this motion. One of the challenges in modeling this system is the quite limited intuition about the type of nonlinearity in the dynamic behavior.
