Why don't you try what Pugsy suggested? lower your pressure differential between inhalation and exhalation, whether it's called EPR, or PS, it's the same thing, a difference between the inhalation and exhalation pressure. The higher that difference, the more ventilation you have, the more ventilation, the more CO2 is blow off, the more CO2 that's exhaled, the lower your drive to take another breath.BreathFree wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 11:06 pmWhat pressures should I try...

1...make sure that those were real asleep centrals and not SWJ sleep/wake/junk .
2...I would turn off EPR (or reduce it) just in case it was a factor in the centrals (assuming real asleep centrals and not SWJ centrals).
I doubt it will change the results but there is a remote chance that turning off EPR will reduce real asleep centrals.
Yes, one can *cause* central apnea with too much added ventilation.
