Detection of Eye-blink artifact in the EEG
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is often corrupted by different types of artifacts. Many efforts have been made to enhance its quality by reducing the artifact. The EEG contains the technical artifacts (noise from the electric power source, amplitude artifact, etc.) and biological artifacts (eye artifacts, ECG and EMG artifacts). This paper is focused on eyeblinking artifact detection from the video which is recorded with EEG data simultaneously. Detection of eye artifacts is not a simple process and therefore there are many efforts to develop an optimal method for eye artifact detection or in better case its elimination. In this paper there is described an unusual detection method based on image processing and analysis.

A Novel Semiblind Signal Extraction Approach for the Removal of Eye-Blink Artifact from EEGs
A novel blind signal extraction (BSE) scheme for the removal of eye-blink artifact from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is proposed. In this method, in order to remove the artifact, the source extraction algorithm is provided with an estimation of the column of the mixing matrix corresponding to the point source eye-blink artifact. The eye-blink source is first extracted and then cleaned, ar...
متن کاملAn unsupervised eye blink artifact detection method for real-time electroencephalogram processing.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is easily contaminated by unwanted physiological artifacts, among which electrooculogram (EOG) artifacts due to eye blinking are known to be most dominant. The eye blink artifacts are reported to affect theta and alpha rhythms of frontal EEG signals, and hard to be accurately detected in an unsupervised way due to large individual variability. In this study, we propos...

Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...

Both invasive and non-invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from the human brain have an increasingly important role in neuroscience research and are candidate modalities for medical brain-machine interfacing. It is often assumed that the major artifacts that compromise non-invasive EEG, such as caused by blinks and eye movement, are absent in invasive EEG recordings. Quantitative i...
