  • Abstract
    The target of this research is to develop an analog spiking neural network in order to improve the performance of biventricular pacemakers, which is also known as Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices. By using the reinforcement learning algorithm, this paper proposes an approach improving cardiac delay predictions in every cardiac period so as to assist the CRT device to provide real-time optimal heartbeats. The simulation of the reinforcement learning algorithm has also been carried out and illustrated.
