Abstract
In this study, a proposition of simultaneous training of the neural network (multilayer perceptron) and adaptive preprocessing unit is presented. This cooperation enables the network to affect the preprocessing and as a consequence to vary the locations of pattern vectors in a feature space. Thus, during the learning process the network tries to find a good separation of classes of patterns, which results in convergence of the whole learning process. The strategy was developed in order to make efficient EEG monitoring in neonates possible. A comparison of the method presented herein with the known learning strategies for neural networks shows the need for using it as an alternative learning process. The convergence of the whole system is also discussed. Copyright 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
