We are pleased to announce the third in our annual series of challenges from PhysioNet and Computers in Cardiology. We received many suggestions for challenge topics, and encourage you to write to us with further suggestions. We chose the topic for…

Hilbert Transform based Sleep Apnea Detection using a Single Lead Electrocardiogram.

The method of detrended fluctuation analysis has proven useful in revealing the extent of long-range correlations in time series.

We introduce here the Research CardioVascular SIMulator (RCVSIM) software in order to complement research with the experimental data sets provided by PhysioBank. The human cardiovascular model upon which RCVSIM is based includes three major componen…

Rest tremor velocity in the index finger of 16 subjects with Parkinson's disease who receive chronic high frequency electrical deep brain stimulation.

These magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images show coronal slices acquired from consecutive anteroposterior positions within the torso. The study was performed on a 1.5T General Electric (GE) Signa imaging system with gadolinium-contrast-enhance…

Stride interval fluctuations were studied in ten young, healthy men. Participants had no history of any neuromuscular, respiratory or cardiovascular disorders, and were taking no medications. Mean age was 21.7 years (range: 18-29 years). Height was …

ECG recordings created for use in the Computers in Cardiology Challenge 2001, a competition with the goal of developing automated methods for predicting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Following the success of the first Computers in Cardiology Challenge, we are pleased to offer a new challenge from PhysioNet and Computers in Cardiology 2001. The challenge is to develop a fully automated method to predict the onset of paroxysmal at…

Detecting the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is an important problem that is solved by measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent. Lyapunov exponents quantify the exponential divergence of initially close state-space trajectories and estimate …
