Beyond HRV: Analysis of ECG signals using attractor reconstruction

Attractor reconstruction analysis has previously been applied to analyse arterial blood pressure and photo-plethysmogram signals. This study extends this novel technique to ECG signals. We show that the method gives high accuracy in identifying gender from ECG signals, performing significantly better than the same classification by interval measures.
