EMGdi signal enhancement based on ICA decomposition and wavelet transform

Diaphragmatic electromyogram (EMGdi) signal plays an important role in the diagnosis and analysis of respiratory diseases. However, EMGdi recordings are often contaminated by electrocardiographic (ECG) interference, which posing serious obstacle to traditional denoising approaches due to overlapped spectra of these signals. In this paper, a novel method based on wavelet transform and independent component analysis (ICA) is proposed to remove the ECG interference from noisy EMGdi signals. With the proposed method, the original independent components of contaminated EMGdi signal were first obtained with ndependent component analysis
