Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a composite signal generated by a transient signal generation mechanism to extract a repetitive low SNR transient signal, such as an evoked potential (EP) appearing in an electroencephalogram (EEG) generated in response to sensory stimulation, by: (a) dynamically identifying, via a learning process, the major transient signal types in the composite signal; (b) decomposing the identified major transient signal types into their respective constituent components; (c) synthesizing a parametric model emulating the transient signal generation mechanism; and (d) utilizing the model and the constituent components to identify and extract the low SNR transient signal from the composite signal.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems relating to the objective measurement of the subjective perception of pain in a subject are disclosed. In one aspect, a system for objectively measuring a subjective perception of pain by a subject comprises a plurality of electrodes, including a left channel electrode and a right channel electrode. The plurality of electrodes measures electrical activity at a respective plurality of sites on the subject to generate at least two sets of electrical activity measurements. The system further comprises a processor for processing the at least two sets of electrical activity measurements into at least two normalized signals, and comparing the at least two normalized signals to each other to identify the presence of pain in the subject.
