A neural network with asymmetric basis functions for feature extraction of ECG P waves

In this work a simple neural network with asymmetric basis functions is proposed as a feature extractor for P waves in electrocardiographic signals (ECG). The neural network is trained using the classical backward-error-propagation algorithm. The performance of the proposed network was tested using actual ECG signals and compared with other types of neural feature extractors.
