Abstract:
1. A method for determining a site of origin of a natural electrical pulse in a living body comprising: determining a first vector of temporal changes in electrical data measured at a plurality of electrical sensors positioned at a corresponding plurality of locations on an external surface of a living body due to a natural electrical pulse, wherein each vector comprises a plurality of properties of the temporal changes at each electrical sensor; determining a different vector of temporal changes in electrical data measured at the plurality of electrical sensors positioned at the corresponding plurality of locations on the external surface of the living body due to each stimulated signal of a plurality of stimulated signals within the living body, wherein each vector comprises a plurality of properties of the temporal changes at each electrical sensor; receiving stimulated position data that indicates a different corresponding position within the living body where each of the plurality of stimulated signals originates; and determining the site of origin of the natural electrical pulse based on the first vector and the plurality of different vectors and the stimulated position data.
