Tematika

Cybernetics embracing more disciplines deals with the control, regulation, information flow and processing occurring in expediently working dynamical systems. The most important goal of our subject is to help the students understand the functional principles of the regulatory systems, mainly those of the human body. Furthermore, we would like to familiarize the students with how the balance of the regulatory systems can be maintained by their wide adaptive and learning capacity/capability. We would like to demonstrate that etiology of many diseases can be explained by the disruption of balance, how the balance can be restored by the therapy and, at the same time, how the therapy can cause the shift of the balance in other parts of the system (side effect). In addition to the biological systems, both the functional description of the artificial regulatory systems and the artificial intelligence will be addressed. In the first semester the following topics are discussed: general description of systems, mathematical basics, the concept of homeostasis, biocybernetics of cellular and subcellular structures, mathematical model of the blood coagulation cascade, cardiorespiratoric system as regulatory system, neuroendocrine regulation.
