Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed for encoding tissue behavior. A bioreactor may be implemented, where the bioreactor comprises a device configured for growing tissue and a sensor assembly configured to detect functional response(s) of a tissue within the device. The systems and methods may also include a control unit communicatively coupled to the bioreactor and configured to obtain, from the bioreactor, waveform(s) comprising functional response(s) of the tissue within the device over a time frame. The control unit may also be configured to transform the one or more waveforms to spectral representation(s) that provide frequency-based characterizations of the functional response(s) of the tissue during the time frame thereby encoding a behavior of the tissue.
