title: An architecture for EEG signal processing and interpretation during sleep (ESPIS).
abstract: The project's aim is to develop a dedicated workstation in order to process multiple channels of electrophysiological signals in real-time during sleep. In ESPIS we are aiming to define both an architecture and an environment for EEG signal interpretation in medicine based on computer science gold standards (Unix, XWindow, Motif). Signal processing and pattern recognition analysis are provided by parallel processing on a specific developed acquisition architecture (DSP) based on transputers. The main result is a high performance prototype demonstrating signal interpretation during sleep which has already been tested in a medical environment. The overall specifications allow this biomedical device to be extended to other types of medical signals.
