This paper describes a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) detection method based on supervised pattern recognition. A previously used pattern recognition technique relying on cross-correlation with a template was modified in order to include a priori information allowing detection accuracy. Reference is made to the patient's audiogram and to the latency-intensity (LI) curve with respect to physiological mechanisms. Flexible and adaptive constraints are introduced in the optimization procedure by means of eight rules. Several data samples were used in this study. The determination of parameters was performed through 270 BAEPs from 20 subjects with normal and high audiometric thresholds and through additional BAEPs from 123 normal ears and 14 ears showing prominent wave VI BAEPs. The evaluation of the detection performance was performed in two steps: first, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were estimated using 283 BAEPs from 20 subjects showing normal and high audiometric thresholds and secondly, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the detection and the accuracy of the response threshold were estimated using 213 BAEPs from 18 patients in clinic.Taking into account some a priori information, the accuracy in BAEPs detection was enhanced from 76 to 90%. The patient response thresholds were determined with a mean error of 5 dB and a standard deviation error of 8.3 dB. Results were obtained using experimental data; therefore, they are promising for routine use in clinic.
