Real-time data-reusing adaptive learning of a radial basis function network for tracking evoked potentials
2006
Tracking variations in both the latency and amplitude of evoked potential (EP) is important in quantifying properties of the nervous system. Adaptive filtering is a powerful tool for tracking such variations. In this paper, a data-reusing nonlinear adaptive filtering method, based on a radial basis function network (RBFN), is implemented to estimate EP. The RBFN consists of an input layer of source nodes, a single hidden layer of nonlinear processing units and an output layer of linear weights. It has built-in nonlinear activation functions that allow learning of function mappings. Moreover, it produces satisfactory estimates of signals against a background noise without a priori knowledge of the signal, provided that the signal and noise are independent. In clinical situations where EP responses change rapidly, the convergence rate of the algorithm becomes a critical factor. A carefully designed data-reusing RBFN can accelerate the convergence rate markedly and, thus, enhance its performance. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results support the improved performance of our new algorithm.
