Abstract

The onset of a particular signal event is determined by first smoothing the signal containing the event, and then analyzing the smoothed waveform to determine onset. Smoothing is performed by analyzing the value of each point of data and modifying the value based on previous data point values in the waveform. The smoothed waveform is analyzed by iteratively stepping through the data points of the smoothed waveform and determining event onset based on change in data point values. The analysis uses the slope of the waveform to determine whether the data point values and slopes meet certain criteria indicating an event onset.
