Realtime bioelectrical data acquisition and processing from 128 channels utilizing the wavelet-transformation

We propose a versatile signal processing and analysis framework for bioelectrical data, and in 9 particular for neural recordings and EEG. Within this framework the signal is decomposed into subbands using fast wavelet transform algorithms, executed in real-time on a current digital sig11 nal processors hardware platform. The decomposition is used to perform various processing and analysis tasks. Besides fast implementation of high, band, low pass 5lters, the decomposition is 13 used for denoising and lossy, as well as lossless compression. Furthermore speci5c electrophysiologic analysis tasks like spike detection and sorting are performed within this decomposition 15 scheme. c © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. 17
