Bh. Jansen et Pr. Desai, K-COMPLEX DETECTION USING MULTILAYER PERCEPTRONS AND RECURRENT NETWORKS, International journal of bio-medical computing, 37(3), 1994, pp. 249-257
The feasibility of using a multi-layer perceptron and Elman's recurren
t network for the detection of specific waveforms (K-complexes) in ele
ctroencephalograms (EEGs), regardless of their location in the signal
segment, is explored. Experiments with simulated and actual EEG data w
ere performed. In case of the perceptron, the input consisted of the m
agnitude and/or phase values obtained from 10-s signal intervals, wher
eas the recurrent net operated on the digitized data samples directly.
It was found that both nets performed well on the simulated data, but
not on the actual EEG data. The reasons for the failure of both nets
are discussed.
