چکیده

در این تحقیق، با استخراج خواص پدیده های آشوبگون و بررسی سه دسته سیگنال قلبی شامل سیگنال های طبیعی، تاکیکاردی بطنی و فیبریلاسیون بطنی مشاهده شد که این خواص به صورت مشخصی در سیگنال فیبریلاسیون بطنی وجود دارند. از یک شبکه عصبی پس انتشار خطا برای جدا سازی سیگنال فیبریلاسیون بطنی نسبت به دو نوع دیگر سیگنال قلبی استفاده گردید. شبکه در دو حوزه زمان و فرکانس تحت آموزش قرار گرفته و نتایج نشان داد که در حالت عادی، استفاده از سیگنال های زمانی در مقایسه با طیف فرکانسی از قابلیت اعتماد بالایی برخوردار نیست. بر اساس یک ایده نو و با استفاده از تکنیک «داده های جایگزین» که در فرآیند های آشوبگون به کار می رود، بهبود چشمگیری در کارآیی شبکه در حوزه زمان به دست آمد. همچنین شبیه سازی ها نشان داد که دینامیک آشوبگون تولید کننده سیگنال فیبریلاسیون بطنی، یک دینامیک متغیر با زمان است.

چکیده [English]

Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) is a dangerous abnormality in the heart activity. During the VF, well known shape of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal changes to a pseudo-noise waveform. Recent researches have depicted that VF is not a noisy signal. The characteristics of VF and chaotic signals are the same. In this research, these characteristics were studied and used for discriminating the VF signal from the other electrocardiogram signals. Three types of electrocardiogram signals including VF, Tachycardia and Normal ECG were used for training and testing a back propagation neural network. We used these signals in three stages. At the first stage, the power spectrum of signals was used for training and testing the neural network. Time Series signals were used in the second stage. The result of the first experience was better than the second. At the third stage, we used surrogate technique to enrich the training signals in the time domain. The surrogate technique is a method which has been used in the chaotic systems. By using these new generated signals for training the neural network, the results of classification were extremely improved. Furthermore, the results of simulations showed that the chaotic dynamic of VF signal is a time dependant one.
