Abstract

The presence of muscle artifact (noise) affects the electroencephalograph (EEG) analysis. This paper deals with the filtering of the muscle artifact (noise) from a muscle artifact contaminated EEG, by a hybrid approach. In this, the muscle artifact component outside the EEG band is removed by lowpass filtering and the component within the EEG band by the least mean square gradient adaptive predictive filtering. Further, the effect of the muscle artifact on the parametric representation of EEG and the improvement achieved by the proposed filtering, are considered for simulated and real EEG data. The results indicate that the proposed filtering facilitates a reasonably valid parametric representation of EEG even when it is contaminated with the muscle artifact. The adaptive predictors realized by tapped delay line and lattice structures have been considered.

    analyzing quantitative performance of these algorithms on EEG signals corrupted with a larger variety of (eight movement-related) real-life artifacts. Linear filtering and linear regression can separate an artifact from a corrupted signal if the artifact alone is measurable (Narasimhan and Dutt, 1996), e.g., eye-blinking artifact removal using EOG, muscle artifact removal using electromyogram (EMG) and using electrocardiogram (ECG) recoding for the artifact due to heart-beat (Sanei and Chambers, 2008; Sörnmo and Laguna, 2005; Narasimhan and Dutt, 1996; Fatourechi et al., 2007; Moretti et al., 2003). In a pervasive EEG scenario, there is no known way to record the sources of artifact because of the higher degrees of freedom, so as to pose the artifact removal problem in linear filtering template (Sörnmo and Laguna, 2005).

    The MA noise is typically very non-stationary in time and colored in spectrum (having long-term correlations) and with varying signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The muscle noise is the result of superposition of large number of action potentials which form in muscles and such bio-waveform coexists usually with ECG or other signals as noisy components [29]. During the analyzing of muscle noise, one can observe some number of the samples, for which values are significantly far from the average value of the samples.
