Method and device for multimodal neurological evaluation

摘要

A method of building classifiers for multimodal neurological assessment is described. The method comprises the steps of extracting quantitative features from a plurality of physiological and neurocognitive assessments, and selecting a subset of features from the extracted pool of features to construct multimodal classifiers. A device for performing point-of-care multimodal neurological assessment is also described.

1. A method of building a classifier for multimodal assessment of a subject's neurological condition, comprising the steps of:
providing a signal processing device operatively connected to a memory device storing results of two or more different assessments performed on a plurality of individuals in the presence or absence of brain abnormalities, the signal processing device comprising a processor configured to perform the steps of:
extracting quantitative features from the results of the two or more different assessments;storing the extracted features in a pool of selectable features;selecting a subset of features from the pool of selectable features to construct the classifier; anddetermining classification accuracy of the classifier by using it to classify data records having a priori classification information.
