    Abstract: An apparatus for sensing a heart rate of a subject, including an eyewear frame and a heart rate sensing circuit. The sensing circuit includes first and second piezoelectric sensors configured to be in communication with the subject's skin and to generate first and second voltage signals in response to a periodic vibration in at least one artery of the subject, a first voltage amplifier configured to receive the first voltage signal and output a first amplified voltage signal related to the heart rate of the subject, a second voltage amplifier configured to receive the second voltage signal and output a second amplified voltage signal related to the heart rate of the subject, and a device configured to output a differential signal that is a representation of a difference between the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal that relates to the heart rate.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting respiration phases are disclosed herein. An example apparatus for analyzing vibration signal data collected from a nasal bridge of a subject via a sensor to reduce errors in training an artificial neural network using the vibration signal data includes a feature extractor to identify feature coefficients of the vibration signal data. In the example apparatus, the artificial neural network is to generate a respiration phase classification for the vibration signal data based on the feature coefficients. The example apparatus includes a classification verifier to verify the respiration phase classification and an output generator to generate a respiration phase output based on the verification.
