چکیده

a recorded nerve signal via an electrode is composed of many evokes or action potentials, (originated from individual axons) which may be considered as different initial sources. recovering these primitive sources in its turn may lead us to the anatomic originations of a nerve signal which will give us outstanding foresights in neural rehabilitations. accordingly, clinical interests may be raised on extraction of sensory and motor components of the nerve signals in neural injuries. one example is to extract sensory fraction in sacral nerve to sense the bladder filling up in paraplegic or quadriplegic people [3]. blind source separation (bss) methods seem good solutions for extraction of the initial sources which are contributing in recorded mixed sources. considering the nerve signal as a superposition of many axonal or fascicular signals, we have encouraged to try bss methods to see whether it can recover the sensory and motor sources of a recorded nerve signal. accordingly, both pca and ica techniques were examined in a case study (human left arm), in which the response of the adm muscle to the ulnar nerve stimulation were recorded in two points. the corresponded sensory signal was recorded on the pinkie at the same time (all recordings were done via surface electrodes). it was shown that ica (supremely better than pca) was able to separate initial sources (adm recorded signals) into two signals so that one of them was most similar to the sensory (pinkie) signal. the level of similarity was quantified via correlation analysis. as the result, it is concluded that ica is capable of extracting sensory and motor signals in pns.

Blind Signal Separation Using an Extended Infomax Algorithm

The Infomax algorithm is a popular method in blind source separation problem. In this article an extension of the Infomax algorithm is proposed that is able to separate mixed signals with any sub- or super-Gaussian distributions. This ability is the results of using two different nonlinear functions and new coefficients in the learning rule. In this paper we show how we can use the distribution...

buckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method

در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....

Feature Extraction Approach to Blind Source Separation

Local independent component analysis is formulated as a task involving the extraction of local geometric structure in the joint distribution. Because the geometrical structure of statistical independence is not well captured by statistical descriptions such as moments and cumulants, we use feature detection tools from image analysis to locate the local independent component coordinate system. T...
