Periodicity detection of ballistocardiogram based on chaotic oscillators

Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is a new, noninvasive technique used to record the movement of the body synchronous with the heartbeat due to left ventricular pump activity. However, BCG signal is so weak and easy to be jammed. In this paper, we achieved it through the measure system which is made by our BCG laboratory. Then, attempt to detect useful information from noises by chaotic oscillators. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is effective and practical.
