Abstract
A method for assessing a condition of an organism having body waves corresponding to states of the organism. The method includes the step of recording signals corresponding to a body wave, output by a portion of the organism in a first state, to provide a first record. In a similar manner, signals are recorded during a time period in which the organism is in a second state, to provide a second record. The first and second records, are processed by applying feature expansion procedures thereto. The results of the feature expansion procedures are evaluated to identify first selected feature expansion procedures effective to distinguish values of the first signals corresponding to the first state from values of the first signals corresponding to the second state.
