Abstract
The sound that generates during the act of respiration can be picked up by a bioacoustic sensor, a specially designed microphone. The aim of the work was to describe a method for monitoring of respiration and where the start and stop of the respiration phases can be timed accurately. A method is presented where the time position of the different respiration phases can be determined by a time resolution of 51 ms. A microphone applied over the trachea and the features of the respiration sounds frequency content was used for the development of the method
