Muscle artifact removal in ictal scalp-EEG based on blind source separation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings are often contaminated with muscle artifacts. These artifacts obscure the EEG and complicate its interpretation or even make the interpretation unfeasible. This paper focuses on the particular context of extraction of low-voltage rapid ictal discharges from ictal scalp-EEG activity cantaminated by muscle artifact. In this context our aim was to evaluate the ability of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), to remove muscle artefacts from surface EEG signals. The efficiency of ICA and CCA to correct the muscular artifact was evaluated both on simulated data and on real data recorded in an epileptic patient. The obtained results show that some ICA methods and CCA removed successfully the muscle artifact without altering the recorded underlying ictal activity. Keywords— EEG, rapid ictal discharges, ICA, CCA, muscle ar-

Removing muscle and eye artifacts using blind source separation techniques in ictal EEG source imaging.
OBJECTIVE The contamination of muscle and eye artifacts during an ictal period of the EEG significantly distorts source estimation algorithms. Recent blind source separation (BSS) techniques based on canonical correlation (BSS-CCA) and independent component analysis with spatial constraints (SCICA) have shown much promise in the removal of these artifacts. In this study we want to use BSS-CCA a...
متن کاملA Combined Wavelet Packet-blind Source Separation Approach for Identification and Removal of Muscle Artifacts from Electroencephalogram
Electromyogram (EMG) induced electrical activity is an undesirable interference in cerebral electroencephalogram (EEG) data. We propose an efficient algorithm for automatic detection and removal of EMG artifact, while preserving most of the true cerebral activity in the EEG. First, the EEG data are decomposed into independent components (IC) using canonical correlation based blind source separa...

Signals from eye movements and blinks can be orders of magnitude larger than braingenerated electrical potentials and are one of the main sources of artifacts in electroencephalographic (EEG) data. This article presents a method based on blind source separation (BSS) for automatic removal of electroocular artifacts from EEG datain amotor imagery experiment. BBS is a signalprocessing methodology...
متن کاملWavelet Enhanced CCA for Minimization of Ocular and Muscle Artifacts in EEG
Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings are often contaminated with ocular and muscle artifacts. In this paper, the canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is used as blind source separation (BSS) technique (BSS-CCA) to decompose the artifact contaminated EEG into component signals. We combine the BSSCCA technique with wavelet filtering approach for minimizing both ocular and muscle artifacts simult...
متن کاملAnalyzing Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials Using Blind Source Separation
The present study seeks to investigate the limits of scalp EEG (electroencephalogram) SSVEP (Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials) phenomena (to which maximal and minimal frequencies SSVEP can be recorded at the scalp level). SSVEP are periodic evoked signals buried in the non-stationary waves of EEG recordings. EEG signals are furthermore noisy and contain artifacts which may interfere with b...
