诱发电位(EP)信号的检测与分析技术是临床医学诊断神经系统损伤及病变的重要手段之一,但是EP信号总是淹没在人体自发产生的脑电图信号(EEG)中。因此,为利用EP信号诊断神经系统的损伤和病变,本文使用带参考信号的独立分量分析(ICA)方法从混合信号中快速将EP信号提取出来。计算机模拟表明,采用带参考信号的ICA方法可以从单导混合信号中有效地将EP信号提取出来。
The detection and analysis technology of evoked potentials (EPs) is an important means in clinical diagnosis for injury or disease of the central nervous system. Generally, the EP signals obtained from the body surface are always contaminated by heavy noises. Therefore, it is necessary to remove such noises like EEG from mixed signals in order to detect the injury or disease reliably. Based on ICA algorithm with reference signals, a method of fast estimating EPs was proposed in this paper. It is clear from computer simulations that the ICA algorithm with reference signals is much more effective for signal and noise separation than the traditional methods.
