Goal: To evaluate state-of-the-art signal processing methods for epicardial potential-based noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging reconstructions of single-site pacing data. Methods: Experimental data were obtained from two torso-tank setups in which Langendorff-perfused hearts (n = 4) were suspended and potentials recorded simultaneously from torso and epicardial surfaces. 49 different signal processing methods were applied to torso potentials, grouped as i) high-frequency noise removal (HFR) methods ii) baseline drift removal (BDR) methods and iii) combined HFR+BDR. The inverse problem was solved and reconstructed electrograms and activation maps compared to those directly recorded. Results: HFR showed no difference compared to not filtering in terms of absolute differences in reconstructed electrogram amplitudes nor median correlation in QRS waveforms (p > 0.05). However, correlation and mean absolute error of activation times and pacing site localization were improved with all methods except a notch filter. HFR applied post-reconstruction produced no differences compared to pre-reconstruction. BDR and BDR+HFR significantly improved absolute and relative difference, and correlation in electrograms (p < 0.05). While BDR+HFR combined improved activation time and pacing site detection, BDR alone produced significantly lower correlation and higher localization errors (p < 0.05). Conclusion: BDR improves reconstructed electrogram morphologies and amplitudes due to a reduction in lambda value selected for the inverse problem. The simplest method (resetting the isoelectric point) is sufficient to see these improvements. HFR does not impact electrogram accuracy, but does impact post-processing to extract features such as activation times. Removal of line noise is insufficient to see these changes. HFR should be applied post-reconstruction to ensure over-filtering does not occur.

Assessment of alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-story frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-07-01) In regions with sparse ground motion data, simulations provide alternative acceleration time series for evaluation of the dynamic response of a structure. Different ground motion simulation methods provide varying levels of goodness of fit between observed and synthetic data. Before using the seismologically acceptable synthetic records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of synthetics in predicting observed seismic responses of structures. For this purpose, in this study ...
Effect of Voxel Selection on Temporal Mesh Model for Brain Decoding Afrasiyabi, Arman; Onal, Itir; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-19) In this study, we combine a voxel selection method with temporal mesh model to decode the discriminative information distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. We first employ one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) feature selection to select the most informative voxels. Then, we form meshes around selected voxels with their spatial and functional neighbors by employing the Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (MM-TM). We estimate the arc weights of meshes, which represent the relation...
The effects of mutual coupling between antenna elements of the performance adaptive arrays Özkaya, Güney; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) Array processing involves manipulation of signals induced on various antenna elements. In an adaptive array system, the radiation pattern is formed according to the signal environment by using signal processing techniques. Adaptive arrays improve the capacity of mobile communication systems by placing nulls in the direction of interfering sources and by directing independent beams toward various users. Adaptive beamforming algorithms process signals induced on each array element that are assumed not to be a...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01) This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
Estimation of protein secondary structure from FTIR spectra using neural networks Severcan, M; Severcan, Feride; Haris, PI (Elsevier BV, 2001-05-30) Secondary structure of proteins have been predicted using neural networks (NN) from their Fourier transform infrared spectra. Leave-one-out approach has been used to demonstrate the applicability of the method. A form of cross-validation is used to train NN to prevent the overfitting problem. Multiple neural network outputs are averaged to reduce the variance of predictions. The networks realized have been tested and rms errors of 7.7% for alpha -helix, 6.4% for beta -sheet and 4.8% for turns have been achi...
