چکیده
this paper presents a novel technique for removing the artifacts from the Electro-Encephalo-Gram (EEG) signals. EEG signals are influenced by different characteristics, like line interference, EOG (ElectroOculogram) and ECG (Electrocardiogram). The elimination of artifact from scalp EEGs is of substantial significance for both the automated and visual examination of underlying brainwave actions. These noise sources increase the difficulty in analyzing the EEG and obtaining clinical information related to pathology. Hence it is crucial to design a procedure to decrease such artifacts in EEG records. This paper uses an online blind extraction algorithm, suitable for the generality of complex-valued sources, both complex circular and noncircular, is introduced. This is achieved based on higher order statistics of latent sources, and using the deflation approach SpatiallyConstrained Independent Component Analysis (SCICA) to separate the Independent Components (ICs) from the initial EEG signal. As the next step, Wavelet Denoising (WD) is applied to extract the brain activity from purged artifacts, and finally the artifacts are projected back and subtracted from EEG signals to get clean EEG data. Here, thresholding plays an important role in delineating the artifacts and hence a better thresholding technique called Otsu’s, thresholding is applied. Experimental results show that the proposed technique results in better removal of artifacts.

Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings are often contaminated with muscle artifacts. This disturbing myogenic activity not only strongly affects the visual analysis of EEG, but also most surely impairs the results of EEG signal processing tools such as source localization. This article focuses on the particular context of the contamination epileptic signals (interictal spikes) by muscle artif...
