Abstract:
A method for measuring bioelectric impedance in real time, in the presence of interference and noise is disclosed. A small electric current is injected into a biopotential electrode system, and then the measurement is tested for contamination by electrical interference or other noise sources.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a system comprising a microcomputer (18), a user input device (24), a graphics display (20), a hard copy output device (22), a method to derive a diagnostic index indicative of a selected cerebra l phenomena which obtains (19) unipolar EEG signals in an acquisition, and an analysis system (12) from regions of interest on both th e left and right hemispheres of the brain of a subject (15). The system uses high gain low noise amplifiers to maximize the dynamic range for low energy wave components of the signals. Band-pass filtering is used to reduce noise and to avoid an alias. The system applies commonly used digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to digitize, to low pass filter (100Hz), and to decimate the signals. Power spectral, bi-spectral, and higher order spectral processing is then performed.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system and method that produces features and indices that indicate the presence or absence of a disease or condition, or of the progression of a disease or condition. The system and method of the present invention also produce features and indices that predict responsiveness to medication from a premedication baseline. The system and method of the present invention further incorporates a testing methodology to improve the performance characteristics of the features or indices. To obtain such features and indices, time domain, power spectrum, bispectrum and higher order spectrum values are derived from biopotential signals taken from the subject being tested.
Abstract:
The disclosed filter (120) removes cardiac artifacts (310) from signals representative of a patient's cerebral activity. The filter preferably replaces portions of the signal including artifacts with temporal ly adjacent artifact free portions.
