Abstract:

The investigation of brain activity is one of the most important fields in modern medicine. One of most popular experimental techniques is the so-called method of evoked potentials: the subject repeatedly makes some movements whereas brain activity and some auxiliary signals are recorded for further analysis. The key problem is the determination of points in myogram which correspond to the beginning of the movements (we deal with the movements of the subject’s finger). The precise detection of the points promotes successful processing of the magnetoencephalogram because it is a way to identify the sensors which are closest to the activity areas.

The paper proposes a statistical approach based on a special modification of the method of moving separation of mixtures of probability distributions (MSM method) to reveal start points for the finger’s movements. We demonstrate the correctness of a new procedure as compared with the method based on the notion of the myogram window variance using the same experimental myogram.
