Neural Networks Preprocessing Based Adaptive Latency Change Estimation of Evoked Potentials

Based on the nonlinear processing ability of neural networks, a new method of estimation of latency change in evoked potentials (EPs) is proposed in this paper. Neural networks are utilized as filters before DLMS algorithm in EP latency change estimation in order to suppressing impulsive background noises. The new latency change estimation method shows robust performance under non-Gaussian α-stable noise conditions.
