Abstract

This paper presents an effective application of backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) in differentiating electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra of syncopic and normal subjects. Digitized 8-channel EEG data were recorded with standard electrodes placement and amplifier settings from five confirmed syncopic and five normal subjects. The preprocessed EEG signals were fragmented in two-second artifact free epochs for calculation and analysis of changes due to syncope. The results revealed significant increase in percentage 驴 and 驴 (pp
