Master thesis discusses the analysis of changes in biological signals on time based on dynamic time warping algorithm (DTW). Special attention is paid to problems of tiny changes analysis incomplex nonstationary biological signals. Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals are used as an example inthis study; in particular, repolarization segments of heart beat cycles. The aim of the research is studyingthe possibility of applying DTW algorithm for the analysis of small changes in the repolarization segments of heart beat cycles. The research has the following tasks:- Studying repolarization segments of heart beat cycles, andmethods of their analysis;- Studying DTW algorithm and its modifications, finding the most appropriate modification for analyzing changes in biological signals;- Development of methods for analyzing the warping path(output parameter of DTW algorithm).

Research analysis of electrocardiograms (ECG) today is carried out mostly using time depending signals of different leads shown in the graphs. Definition of ECG parameters is performed by qualified personnel, and requiring particular skills. To support decoding the cardiac depolarization phase of ECG there are methods to analyze space-time convolution charts in three dimensions where the heartbeat is described by the trajectory of its electrical vector. Based on this, it can be assumed that all available options of the classical ECG analysis of this time segment can be obtained using this technique. Investigated ECG visualization techniques in three dimensions combined with quantitative methods giving additional features of cardiac depolarization and allow a better exploitation of the information content of the given ECG signals.
