Accurately Monitoring the Depth of Anaesthesia Using an Intelligent Method

This paper introduces the development of a monitoring system to depth of anaesthesia in a surgery. We first developed the audiory evoked potential (AEP) method and the bispectrium method. Then we combined them together using a off-line trained neural networks. The preliminary results show that our calculated index is closely relative to the depth of anaesthesia.
