Optimal filtering of nerve singnals

摘要: Recording from multiple electrodes at different sites along a peripheral nerve permits the application of powerful filtering methods to extract activity populations fibres within which differ in temporal or spectral characteristics. The design optimal linear filters is initially treated as general problem calculus variations signals one population are extracted so minimize those second other sources (noise). A particularly important arises when two related by weighting functions. In simplest example function represents time delay for impulses conduct electrode other, but explicit results also derivable there range conduction delays with probabilities distributed according well-known functions such sinc2 function.
