Accelerometer-based fetal movement detection
Mesbah, M.; Khlif, M.S.; East, C.; Smeathers, J; Colditz, P.; Boashash, B.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference)Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a compelling problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity (movement), well-being, and later developmental outcome. We have recently ... -
Accurate and efficient implementation of the time–frequency matched filter
O'Toole, J.M.; Mesbah, M; Boashash, B ( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2010 , Article)The discrete time-frequency matched filter should replicate the continuoustime-frequency matched filter, but the methods differ. To avoid aliasing, thediscrete method transforms the real-valued signal to the complex-valued ... -
Analysis of the time-varying cortical neural connectivity in the newborn EEG: A time-frequency approach
Omidvarnia, A; Mesbah, M; O'Toole, J.M.; Colditz, P; Boashash, B ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference)Relationships between cortical neural recordings as a representation of functional connectivity between cortical brain regions were quantified using different time-frequency criteria. Among these, Partial Directed Coherence ... -
Detecting Fetal Movements Using Non-Invasive Accelerometers: A Preliminary Analysis
Girier, T.; O'Toole, J.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, B.; Clough, I.; Wilson, S.; Fuentes, M.; Callan, S.; East, C.; Colditz, P.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2010 , Article)Monitoring fetal movement is important to assess fetal health. Standard clinical fetal monitoring technologies include ultrasound imaging and cardiotocography. Both have limited prognostic value and require significant ... -
Detection of neonatal seizure using multiple filters
Khlif, M.S.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, Boualem; Colditz, P. ( IEEE , 2010 , Conference)It is often impossible to accurately differentiate between seizure and non-seizure related activities in irifants based on clinical manifestations alone. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is therefore the best tool available ... -
Improved Discrete Definition of Quadratic Time-Frequency Distributions
O'Toole, J.M.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, B. ( IEEE , 2010 , Article)Computation of a time-frequency distribution (TFD) requires a discrete version of the continuous distribution. This discrete TFD (DTFD) should be free from aliasing and conserve all the important mathematical properties ... -
Kalman filter-based time-varying cortical connectivity analysis of newborn EEG
Omidvarnia, A.H.; Mesbah, M.; Khlif, M.S.; O'Toole, J.M.; Colditz, P.; Boashash, B.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference)Multivariate Granger causality in the timefrequency domain as a representation of time-varying cortical connectivity in the brain has been investigated for the adult case. This is, however, not the case in newborns as ... -
Multiple-view time-frequency distribution based on the empirical mode decomposition
Stevenson, N.J; Mesbah, M; Boashash, B ( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2010 , Article)This study proposes a novel, composite time-frequency distribution (TFD) constructed using a multiple-view approach. This composite TFD utilises the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) ... -
A Nonlinear Model of Newborn EEG with Nonstationary Inputs
Stevenson, N.J; Mesbah, M; Boylan, G.B; Colditz, P.B; Boashash, B ( Springer US , 2010 , Article)Newborn EEG is a complex multiple channel signal that displays nonstationary and nonlinear characteristics. Recent studies have focussed on characterizing the manifestation of seizure on the EEG for the purpose of automated ... -
R-wave detection: A comparative analysis of four methods using newborn piglet ECG
Shiying, D.; Fangfei, X.; Lingwood, B.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, B. ( IEEE , 2010 , Conference)In the electrocardiograph (ECG), R-wave is the positive upward deflection in the QRS complex which represents the depolarization of both left and right ventricles. Accurate detection of the R-wave peaks in the ECG plays a ... -
Time-Frequency Characterization of Tri-Axial Accelerometer Data for Fetal Movement Detection
Khlif, M.S.; Boashash, B; Layeghy, S; Ben-Jabeur, T; Mesbah, M; East, C; Colditz, P... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference)Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a significant problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity and its well-being. Using data acquired by accelerometry sensors, we ...
