Abstract
Introduction. The development of advanced optimization methods plays a crucial role in the enhancement of diagnostic tools in the biomedical field, particularly in the analysis of complex physiological signals. Electroretinography (ERG) is a widely used diagnostic technique that records electrical responses generated by the retina in response to light stimuli, providing valuable insights into the functional health of retinal cells. ERG is instrumental in diagnosing conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, and neurotoxicity. However, the analysis of low-intensity electroretinograms (ERG) presents numerous challenges, particularly due to noise and signal distortion, which complicate accurate signal interpretation.
Main purpose of this study.This paper is dedicated to developing an expert system for real-time analysis of electroretinographic signals (ERS), focusing on optimizing the parameters of a mathematical model for ERS analysis in conditions where noise and other distortions are present. The primary aim is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of ERG data processing, enabling early detection of neurotoxicity and other retinal conditions. To achieve this, we applied advanced optimization techniques, such as the Nelder-Mead method, known for its effectiveness in handling non-smooth, noisy functions.
Conclusions. 1. The application of the Nelder-Mead algorithm for optimizing the complex and noisy ERS model significantly improved the performance of ERG data analysis. The algorithm's adaptability to varying optimization conditions allowed for more accurate model parameter determination, particularly in the context of real-time neurotoxicity detection.
Reduction in Processing Time: The time complexity analysis revealed that the Nelder-Mead method reduced the time required to compute the model coefficients by approximately 15%. This improvement was achieved while maintaining the necessary precision for reproducing the test electroretinosignal, making it suitable for real-time applications.
Computational Efficiency: One of the key findings of this study is that the use of the Nelder-Mead algorithm reduced the computational load by up to 30%. This makes the method feasible for use in expert systems designed for real-time ERS analysis, allowing for the monitoring of functional changes in the retina during the early stages of neurotoxicity detection.
