Electrogastrography(EGG), the cutaneous recording of the myoelectrical activity of the stomach using surface electrodes, is attactive due to its non-invasiveness. Despite many attempts made over the decades, analysis of surface EGG has not led to identification of contraction-related electrical response activity of the stomach that would help the clinician to diagnose motility disorders of the stomach. We propose feasible methods to detect the gastric contraction by spectrum analysis and vector analysis of the surface EGG signal. A running spectral analysis(RSA) based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) was applied to the filtered EGG signal. The powers of dominant frequency and its harmonics were compared with gastric contraction signals such as the strain gauge signal from the gastric serosa in dog or the antropyloric pressure in human. And we also carried out vector analysis of the filtered EGG signals obtained from three paired electrodes. The amplitude and direction of the calculated EGG vector were analyzed and compared with the gastric contraction signals. From the spectrum analysis, we found that the increase of the power of the first harmonic of the dominant frequency was highly correlated with the gastric contraction. And from the vector analysis of the EGG signal, we found a typical change of the amplitude and direction of the EGG vector, which can indicate occurrences of the gastric contraction.
