A method of displaying a representation of a physiological signal produced by
a
patient. The method includes the acts of obtaining a portion of at least one physiological
signal acquired from the patient, determining an area to display, and constructing
a virtual image representing at least a portion of the patient. The virtual image
including (M) polygonal areas. The method further includes transforming the obtained
signal to a plurality of values, assigning each value to one of the (M) polygonal
areas, assigning a visual characteristic to each polygonal area based in part on
the assigned values, and displaying at least a portion of the virtual image including
the assigned visual characteristics. The invention further provides a method of
optimal feature selection for the classification of the physiological signals produced
by a patient.
