An Empirical Muscle Intracellular Action Potential Model with Multiple Erlang probability Density Functions based on a Modified Newton Method

The convolution of the transmembrane current of an excitable cell and a weighting function generates a single fiber action potential (SFAP) model by using the volume conductor theory. Here, we propose an empirical muscle IAP model with multiple Erlang probability density functions (PDFs) based on a...
