Question

4. You are analyzing membrane potential Cardiac Action Potential data, such as the cardiac action potential data shown on the right. You want to write a Matlab program to determine the time when the action potential begins. You have the following variables defined: t: A (1xn) array containing all the time points Vm: A (1xn) array containing membrane potential at each time in array t. thresh: The threshold membrane potential value (a scalar), which indicates that an action potential is beginning (e.g., -50 mV). 0.05 0 50 00 150 200 250 300 time (ms) (a) You want to calculate a variable (a scalar) called onset, which is the time at which the membrane potential first goes above thresh. Write a plan (pseudocode) to do so. (b) Write Matlab code to calculate the value of onset.

Explanation / Answer

%part a define t,Vm,thresh loop from 1 to length of Vm in every loop, check if the value of Vm at tha index is greater than thresh or not if it is greater, store the index value in a variable index break the loop assign onset the value of t at that index %part b %i am assuming the variables are already defined for i=1:length(Vm) if Vm(i)>thresh index=i; break end end onset=t(index);
