On-Line Arithmetic Based Reprogrammable Hardware Implementation of LVQ Neural Network for Alertness Classification
Abstract
The current study presents the hardware implementation of a learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural network. Starting from the spectral EEG analysis, we suggest an LVQ serial on-line architecture implementation on a Field programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuit. Our concern was mainly to get a light, easy-to-wear system for the classification of vigilance levels in humans using EEG signals. The results of these classified states by LVQ mode are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the highly satisfactory performances of our implementation in terms of area speed and delay are described.
