title: Dual-channel photoplethysmography synchronization using a Barker sequence.
abstract: A Barker sequence is employed for the synchronization of two photoplethysmogram (PPG) channels. The correctness of this technique is demonstrated by recording a PPG signal, injecting a Barker sequence at the start of this trace and producing a delayed version of it. After preprocessing, cross-correlation techniques are utilized for accurate time alignment of the two traces. The algorithm can correct for any time misalignment as long as the synchronization sequence appears on both channels.
