Abstract

A novel method, the adaptive Walsh function model (WFM), to estimate time-varying evoked potential (EP) signals is presented. Using real EP signals and real noise as inputs to the model, the performances of two models are compared: WFM and Fourier series model (FSM). Both models are used to trace EP signal during experimental and clinical procedures. The results show: (1) both WFM and FSM perform satisfactorily in detecting and tracing time-varying EP signals in high levels of noise; (2) WFM needs less memory and calculations than FSM; (3) for the same adaptive step size, WFM traces faster transients than FSM, but WFM attains lower steady-state signal-to-noise ratio; (4) the WFM and FSM are suitable for the detection of EP signals and other periodic or quasi-periodic signals.
