An Application of Translation Error to Brain Death Diagnosis

摘要

The present study aims at the use of the translation errors of the EEC signals as criteria for brain death diagnosis. Since the EEC signals of the patients in coma or brain death contain several kinds of sources that differ from the viewpoint of determinism, we can exploit the difference of the translation errors for brain death diagnosis. We also show that the translation errors of the post-ICA EEG signals are more reliable than the ones of the pre-ICA EEG signals.
