A General Purpose Function Network Workbench and Simulator
Senior Project: 1989-1990
David Braun, Paul Kooros and Bassam Saliba
One facet of research at the Cleveland Clinic, an internationally recognized
hospital and medical research institution, is the study of epilepsy by a team
of neurologists. A digital signal processing test bed was needed to assist in
this study. The Clinic would use such a test bed to develop diagnostic tools
for the analysis of electroencephalograph (EEG) data. A DSP workbench that
would allow rapid prototyping of signal analysis ideas was required. The
project provided an X Windows based graphical interface, allowing the user to
interactively construct a network of generators, function blocks, and display
elements, which could be used to analyze EEG data. The system also allowed for
the rapid construction of new DSP filters and their incorporation into the
workbench. The workbench was implemented using OI, an object-oriented C++ based
user interface toolkit developed by Solbourne Computer.
