Tavakolian et al. (2008) studied Cardiac malfunctions. Inclusion of respiration information in ballistocardiogram (BCG) processing vs. Previous processing methods (filtering out respiration signal) was evaluated on Reliability and accuracy of the averaged BCG signal. Utilizing respiration information to select expiration cycles for averaging the ballistocardiogram signal improves the reliability and accuracy of the resulting template compared to previous methods.
