ABSTRACT:
A method and device for distinguishing man-made electrical signals within a body from physiological electrochemical activity. The method and device work by detecting electrical signals within the body, and distinguishing the man-made electrical signals from the physiological electrochemical activity by calculating conduction velocities for the detected electrical signals. In distinguishing the signals, at least one pair of points where the electrical signals are being detected is designated as being of interest. At each point within this pair, the occurrence of the arrival times of each electrical signal is observed. On the basis of these observed arrival times, the signal is then determined to be either man-made or electrophysiological in origin.
