Digital sampling rate and ECG analysis.

Abstract

The influence of sampling rate on the accuracy of measurements of various ECG parameters has been studied. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between results obtained at sampling rates of 500 and 250 samples s-1. Recordings made at 125 samples s-1, however, showed significant reductions in peak amplitude values. Some interval measurements also varied significantly to both larger and smaller values. Other intervals did not seem to be affected significantly. It is concluded that a sampling rate of 125 samples s-1 could be used in particular conditions when only the measurement of certain intervals is required.

FFT-based digital tactile vocoder system for real-time use.

A microprocessor-based real-time digital vibrotactile vocoder system has been developed to train the deaf and for artificial hearing research. The system is composed of a microcomputer module with a digital signal processor, interface units and an attenuator/driver circuit. Live or digitised (stored or synthetic) speech is presented to the skin spectrally through a belt housing eight or 16 vibrators. Speech is processed in real time using a fast Fourier transform. The system is also capable of presenting any arbitrary spatiotemporal pattern on the skin for artificial hearing experiments. A preliminary experiment with a deaf subject indicates that the system is potentially an effective device for artificial hearing.
