Dilated 1-D CNN for Identifying ALS from Raw EMG Signal
This paper presents ALSNET, a Dilated 1-D CNN model developed to identify Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) from raw Electromyography (EMG) signals. The introduction explores ALS, its impact on motor neurons, and the importance of early diagnosis. EMG signals and various features used in ALS identification are discussed. The paper compares traditional approaches with the proposed CNN model and highlights the performance evaluation of ALSNet.
