Process a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal

Convenience function that automatically processes a photoplethysmogram signal.

Parameters:

ppg_signal (Union[list, np.array, pd.Series]) – The raw PPG channel.
sampling_rate (int) – The sampling frequency of ppg_signal() (in Hz, i.e., samples/second).

ppg_analyze()#

ppg_analyze(data, sampling_rate=1000, method='auto')[source]#

Photoplethysmography (PPG) Analysis.

Performs PPG analysis on either epochs (event-related analysis) or on longer periods of data such as resting-state data.

Parameters:

data (Union[dict, pd.DataFrame]) – A dictionary of epochs, containing one DataFrame per epoch, usually obtained via epochs_create(), or a DataFrame containing all epochs, usually obtained via epochs_to_df(). Can also take a DataFrame of processed signals from a longer period of data, typically generated by ppg_process() or bio_process(). Can also take a dict containing sets of separate periods of data.
sampling_rate (int) – The sampling frequency of the signal (in Hz, i.e., samples/second). Defaults to 1000Hz.
method (str) – Can be one of "event-related" for event-related analysis on epochs, or "interval-related" for analysis on longer periods of data. Defaults to "auto" where the right method will be chosen based on the mean duration of the data ("event-related" for duration under 10s).

Returns:

DataFrame – A dataframe containing the analyzed PPG features. If event-related analysis is conducted, each epoch is indicated by the Label column. See ppg_eventrelated() and ppg_intervalrelated() docstrings for details.

ppg_simulate()#

ppg_simulate(duration=120, sampling_rate=1000, heart_rate=70, frequency_modulation=0.2, ibi_randomness=0.1, drift=0, motion_amplitude=0.1, powerline_amplitude=0.01, burst_number=0, burst_amplitude=1, random_state=None, random_state_distort='spawn', show=False)[source]#

Simulate a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal

Phenomenological approximation of PPG. The PPG wave is described with four landmarks: wave onset, location of the systolic peak, location of the dicrotic notch and location of the diastolic peaks. These landmarks are defined as x and y coordinates (in a time series). These coordinates are then interpolated at the desired sampling rate to obtain the PPG signal.

Parameters:

duration (int) – Desired recording length in seconds. The default is 120.
sampling_rate (int) – The desired sampling rate (in Hz, i.e., samples/second). The default is 1000.
heart_rate (int) – Desired simulated heart rate (in beats per minute). The default is 70. Note that for the ECGSYN method, random fluctuations are to be expected to mimic a real heart rate. These fluctuations can cause some slight discrepancies between the requested heart rate and the empirical heart rate, especially for shorter signals.
frequency_modulation (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how pronounced respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) is (0 corresponds to absence of RSA). The default is 0.3.
ibi_randomness (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how much random noise there is in the duration of each PPG wave (0 corresponds to absence of variation). The default is 0.1.
drift (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how pronounced the baseline drift (.05 Hz) is (0 corresponds to absence of baseline drift). The default is 1.
motion_amplitude (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how pronounced the motion artifact (0.5 Hz) is (0 corresponds to absence of motion artifact). The default is 0.1.
powerline_amplitude (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how pronounced the powerline artifact (50 Hz) is (0 corresponds to absence of powerline artifact). Note that powerline_amplitude > 0 is only possible if sampling_rate is >= 500. The default is 0.1.
burst_amplitude (float) – Float between 0 and 1. Determines how pronounced high frequency burst artifacts are (0 corresponds to absence of bursts). The default is 1.
burst_number (int) – Determines how many high frequency burst artifacts occur. The default is 0.
show (bool) – If True, returns a plot of the landmarks and interpolated PPG. Useful for debugging.
random_state (None, int, numpy.random.RandomState or numpy.random.Generator) – Seed for the random number generator. See for misc.check_random_state for further information.
random_state_distort ({‘legacy’, ‘spawn’}, None, int, numpy.random.RandomState or numpy.random.Generator) – Random state to be used to distort the signal. If "legacy", use the same random state used to generate the signal (discouraged as it creates dependent random streams). If "spawn", spawn independent children random number generators from the random_state argument. If any of the other types, generate independent children random number generators from the random_state_distort provided (this allows generating multiple version of the same signal distorted by different random noise realizations).

Returns:

ppg (array) – A vector containing the PPG.

PPG Preprocessing Methods

This function analyzes and specifies the methods used in the preprocessing, and create a textual description of the methods used. It is used by ppg_process() to dispatch the correct methods to each subroutine of the pipeline and ppg_report() to create a preprocessing report.

Parameters:

sampling_rate (int) – The sampling frequency of the raw PPG signal (in Hz, i.e., samples/second).
method (str) – The method used for cleaning and peak finding if "method_cleaning" and "method_peaks" are set to "default". Can be one of "elgendi". Defaults to "elgendi".
method_cleaning (str) – The method used to clean the raw PPG signal. If "default", will be set to the value of "method". Defaults to "default". For more information, see the "method" argument of ppg_clean().
method_peaks (str) – The method used to find peaks. If "default", will be set to the value of "method". Defaults to "default". For more information, see the "method" argument of ppg_findpeaks().
method_quality (str) – The method used to assess PPG signal quality. If "default", will be set to the value of "templatematch". Defaults to "templatematch". For more information, see the "method" argument of ppg_quality().
**kwargs – Other arguments to be passed to ppg_clean() and ppg_findpeaks().

Returns:

report_info (dict) – A dictionary containing the keyword arguments passed to the cleaning and peak finding functions, text describing the methods, and the corresponding references.

ppg_quality(ppg_cleaned, ppg_pw_peaks=None, sampling_rate=1000, method='templatematch', approach=None)[source]#

PPG Signal Quality Assessment

Assess the quality of the PPG Signal using various methods:

The "templatematch" method (loosely based on Orphanidou et al., 2015) computes a continuous index of quality of the PPG signal, by calculating the correlation coefficient between each individual pulse wave and an average (template) pulse wave shape. This index is therefore relative: 1 corresponds to pulse waves that are closest to the average pulse wave shape (i.e. correlate exactly with it) and 0 corresponds to there being no correlation with the average pulse wave shape. Note that 1 does not necessarily mean “good”: use this index with care and plot it alongside your PPG signal to see if it makes sense.
The "disimilarity" method (loosely based on Sabeti et al., 2019) computes a continuous index of quality of the PPG signal, by calculating the level of disimilarity between each individual pulse wave and an average (template) pulse wave shape (after they are normalised). A value of zero indicates no disimilarity (i.e. equivalent pulse wave shapes), whereas values above or below indicate increasing disimilarity. The original method used dynamic time-warping to align the pulse waves prior to calculating the level of dsimilarity, whereas this implementation does not currently include this step.

Parameters:

ppg_cleaned (Union[list, np.array, pd.Series]) – The cleaned PPG signal in the form of a vector of values.
ppg_pw_peaks (tuple or list) – The list of PPG pulse wave peak samples returned by ppg_peaks(). If None, peaks is computed from the signal input.
sampling_rate (int) – The sampling frequency of the signal (in Hz, i.e., samples/second).
method (str) – The method for computing PPG signal quality, can be "templatematch" (default).

Returns:

array – Vector containing the quality index ranging from 0 to 1 for "templatematch" method, or an unbounded value (where 0 indicates high quality) for "disimilarity" method.

ppg_cleaned (Union[list, np.array, pd.Series]) – The cleaned PPG channel as returned by ppg_clean().
peaks (dict) – The samples at which the R-peaks occur. Dict returned by ppg_peaks(). Defaults to None.
sampling_rate (int) – The sampling frequency of ppg_cleaned (in Hz, i.e., samples/second). Defaults to 1000.
show (bool) – If True, will return a plot of heartbeats. Defaults to False.
**kwargs – Other arguments to be passed.

Returns:

dict – A dict containing DataFrames for all segmented heartbeats.
