A morphological filter for extracting waveform characteristics of single-sweep evoked potentials

A morphological filter was designed for extracting the waveform characteristics of pain SEP from the single-sweep record. The properties of the basic operations for the morphological filter; erosion, dilation, opening and closing were clarified in order to design an appropriate filter. The morphological filter was designed by selecting the structuring elements, which represented the features of the pain SEP waveform. The designed morphological filter was evaluated using the simulation data, and applied to the pain SEP data obtained from a normal adult with satisfactory results.
