A signal processing model for the epileptic EEG is proposed. This is used to formulate an analysis model, based on linear prediction. This formulation is implemented as a number of adaptive filters and applied for the detection of epileptic spikes. The theory behind the method is explained and the implementation is described. Results are presented and compared for two adaptive filter realizations. The algorithm is compntationally efficient and can be implemented in real-time on a small microcomputer system for on-line analysis. Intermediate results, produced by this method may be used for further analysis. Generalization for the detection of other EEG transients and the removal of artifacts can be easily achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
