Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for synchronous recording and analyzing both the electrogastrographic signal (EGG) and the heart rate variability signal (HRV). The four channel signals are non-invasively captured by six electrodes placed on the surface of the stomach. The EGG and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals, recorded simultaneously using the same electrodes and an amplifier, are separated by digital filtration. In our work the EGG and ECG analysis is limited to the calculation the most frequently used parameters: the dominant frequency (DF), dominant power (DP) of the power spectrum for the EGG, and LF/HF ratio of the HRV power spectrum for the ECG signals.
