Abstract

The possibility of using a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to accurately recognise and predict the onset of Parkinson's disease tremors in human subjects is discussed in this paper. The data for training the RBFNN are obtained by means of deep brain electrodes implanted in a Parkinson disease patient's brain. The effectiveness of a RBFNN is initially demonstrated by a real case study.
