GASP: A Teaching Exercise on Chemical Control of Ventilation

Producer: Rush Medical College

This is a simulated experiment based on a model of the chemical control of the respiratory system (MacPuf; Dickinson et al). Users are required to make predictions about the effects of each of 11 experiments on 11 parameters before obtaining the actual results. Prediction errors serve as triggers for corrective discussion.
