Abstract
Neural networks are extensively used in solving a wide range of pattern recognition problems in signal processing. The accuracy of pattern recognition depends to a large extent on the quality of the features extracted from the signal. We present a neural network capable of extracting the autoregressive parameters of a cardiac signal known as hear rate variability (HRV). Frequency specific oscillations in the HRV signal represent heart rate regulatory activity and hence cardiovascular function. Continual monitoring and tracking of the HRV data over a period of time will provide valuable diagnostic information. We give an example of the network applied to a short HRV signal and demonstrate the tracking performance of the network with a single sinusoid embedded in white noise.
