Frequency band detection. Applying the DDE model with two different
delay pairs, one sensitive to frequencies above 11 Hz and one sensitive to
frequencies below 17 Hz, we can obtain an output which is positive only in the
desired band. In the top panel, the distance from the hyperplane values computed
from both DDEs (d1 and
d2) are plotted for test frequencies ranging
from 0.1 to 100 Hz. The frequency of the test data is color-coded according to
the color bar at left, from 0.1 (red) to 100 Hz (blue). Points falling into the
upper right quadrant (shaded yellow) have positive values for both
d1 and d2, and we
select delays such that only frequencies in the desired range (11-17 Hz) fall
into this area. In the lower plot, d1 and
d2 are combined according to Eq. (9) to obtain a one-dimensional index
that is positive only for frequencies in the desired range. This procedure was
also used to obtain delays and corresponding weights for frequency ranges 11-14
Hz and 12-15 Hz.
