An electrogastrogram (EGG) is a graphic produced by an electrogastrograph, which records the electrical signals that travel through the stomach muscles and control the muscles' contractions. An electrogastroenterogram (or gastroenterogram) is a similar procedure, which writes down electric signals not only from the stomach, but also from intestines.
Salient Features:
The magnitude response is nearly constant(equal to 1) at lower frequencies
There are no ripples in passband and stop band
The maximum gain occurs at Ω=0 and it is H(Ω)=1
The magnitude response is monotonically decreasing
As the order of the filter ‘N’ increases, the response of the filter is more close to the ideal response

Analysis of Butterworth and Chebyshev Filters for ECG Denoising Using WaveletsIOSR Journals
Abstract: A wide area of research has been done in the field of noise removal in Electrocardiogram signals.. Electrocardiograms (ECG) play an important role in diagnosis process and providing information regarding heart diseases. In this paper, we propose a new method for removing the baseline wander interferences, based on discrete wavelet transform and Butterworth/Chebyshev filtering. The ECG data is taken from non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram database, while noise signal is generated and added to the original signal using instructions in MATLAB environment. Our proposed method is a hybrid technique, which combines Daubechies wavelet decomposition and different thresholding techniques with Butterworth or Chebyshev filter. DWT has good ability to decompose the signal and wavelet thresholding is good in removing noise from decomposed signal. Filtering is done for improved denoising performence. Here quantitative study of result evaluation has been done between Butterworth and Chebyshev filters based on minimum mean squared error (MSE), higher values of signal to interference ratio and peak signal to noise ratio in MATLAB environment using wavelet and signal processing toolbox. The results proved that the denoised signal using Butterworth filter has a better balance between smoothness and accuracy than the Chebvshev filter. Keywords: Electrocardiogram, Discrete Wavelet transform, Baseline Wandering, Thresholding, Butterworth, Chebyshev
In many situations, the Electrocardiogram (ECG) is
recorded during ambulatory or strenuous conditions such that the
signal is corrupted by different types of noise, sometimes
originating from another physiological process of the body. Hence,
noise removal is an important aspect of signal processing. Here five
different filters i.e. median, Low Pass Butter worth, FIR, Weighted
Moving Average and Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) with
their filtering effect on noisy ECG are presented. Comparative
analyses among these filtering techniques are described and
statically results are evaluated.

Revealing and evaluating the influence of filters position in cascaded filter...nooriasukmaningtyas
In this paper, a new optimization on windowing technique based on finite
impulse response (FIR) filters is proposed for revealing and evaluating the
Influence of filters position in cascaded filter tested on the ECG signal denoising. baseline wander (BLW), power line interference (PLI) and
electromyography (EMG) noises are gettingremoved. The performance of the
adopted method is evaluated on the PTB diagnostic database. Subsequently,
the comparisons are based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) improvement and
mean square error (MSE) minimization. Where the Rectangular, and Kaiser
windows have been used for the more potent performances. The disparity
average (DA) of SNR values is detected; in both Kaiser and Rectangular
windows are assessed by ±0.38046dB and ±0.70278dB respectively, while
the MSE values were constant. The excellent configuration or filters position
(H-B-L) of the filtration system is selected according to high measurements
of SNR and low MSE too, to de-noise the ECG signals. First of all, this
applied approach has led to 31.30 dB SNR improvement with MSE
minimization of 26. 43%. This means that there is a significant contribution
to improving the field of filtration.

ECG signal denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters for real-time...IJECEIAES
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered as the main signal that can be used to diagnose different kinds of diseases related to human heart. During the recording process, it is usually contaminated with different kinds of noise which includes power-line interference, baseline wandering and muscle contraction. In order to clean the ECG signal, several noise removal techniques have been used such as adaptive filters, empirical mode decomposition, Hilbert-Huang transform, wavelet-based algorithm, discrete wavelet transforms, modulus maxima of wavelet transform, patch based method, and many more. Unfortunately, all the presented methods cannot be used for online processing since it takes long time to clean the ECG signal. The current research presents a unique method for ECG denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters. The suggested method was tested by using a simulated signal using MATLAB software under different scenarios. Instead of using a reference signal for ECG signal denoising, the presented model uses a unite delay and the primary ECG signal itself. Least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS), and Leaky LMS were used as adaptation algorithms in this paper.

One of commonest problems in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing is denoising. In this paper a denoising technique based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been developed. To evaluate proposed technique, we compare it to continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Performance evaluation uses parameters like mean square error (MSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) computations show that the proposed technique out performs the CWT.
Impedance Cardiography Filtering Using Non-Negative Least-Mean-Square Algorithmijcisjournal
In general using several signal acquisition methods are applied to get cardio-impedance signal to analyse
the cardiac output. The analysis completely based on frequency information obtained after applying
frequency selection filters and frequency shaping filters. Here proposing a constructive approach involves
a developed Non-Negative LMS (NNLMS) followed by filtering techniques to measure and overcome the
limitations of commonly used approaches. The proposed technique performance is analysed by considering
different types of noise environments like fundamental one white noise and also sum of sinusoidal noise.
The simulation results are useful to measure the performance and accuracy under different noise
environments also a comparative analysis is done with the proposed work with existing methods under
different performance metrics by the help of quantitative analysis of algorithms. Simulation results are
found to be satisfactory in the analysis of cardiac output.

Abstract: ECG is the main tool used by the physicians for identifying and for interpretation of Heart condition. The ECG should be free from noise and of good quality for the correct diagnosis. In real time situations ECG are corrupted by many types of noises. The high frequency noise is one of them. In this thesis, analysis has been carried out the use of neural network for denoising the ECG signal. A multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) is designed. Here gradient descent method (GDM) is used for training of artificial neural network. The noisy ECG signal is given as input to the neural network. The output of neural network is compared with De-noised(original) ECG signal and value of Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) is computed. In training process the weights are updated until the value of RMSE is minimized. Several iteration has to be performed in order to find Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE). At MMSE network weights are finalized. Subsequently, network parameters are used for Noise reduction. The comparison with other technique shows that the neural networks method is able to better preserve the signal waveform at system output with reduced noise. Our results shows better accuracy in terms of parameters root mean square error, signal to noise ratio and smoothness (RMSE,SNR and R) as compare to GOWT[18].The database has been collected from MIT-BIH arrhythmias database.
ECG Signal Compression Technique Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and QRS-...CSCJournals
In this paper, an Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is compressed based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and QRS-complex estimation. The ECG signal is preprocessed by normalization and mean removal. Then, an error signal is formed as the difference between the preprocessed ECG signal and the estimated QRS-complex waveform. This error signal is wavelet transformed and the resulting wavelet coefficients are thresholded by setting to zero all coefficients that are smaller than certain threshold levels. The threshold levels of all subbands are calculated based on Energy Packing Efficiency (EPE) such that minimum percentage root mean square difference (PRD) and maximum compression ratio (CR) are obtained. The resulted thresholded DWT coefficients are coded using the coding technique given in [1], [20]. The compression algorithm was implemented and tested upon records selected from the MIT - BIH arrhythmia database [2]. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm leads to high CR associated with low distortion level relative to previously reported compression algorithms [1], [14] and [18]. For example, the compression of record 100 using the proposed algorithm yields to CR = 25.15 associated with PRD = 0.7% and PSNR = 45 dB. This achieves compression rate of nearly 128 bit/sec. The main features of this compression algorithm are the high efficiency, high speed and simplicity in design.
Identification of Myocardial Infarction from Multi-Lead ECG signalIJERA Editor
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the cheap and noninvasive method of depicting the heart activity and abnormalities.
It provides information about the functionality of the heart. It is the record of variation of bioelectric potential
with respect to time as the human heart beats. The classification of ECG signals is an important application since
the early detection of heart diseases/abnormalities can prolong life and enhance the quality of living through
appropriate treatment. Since the ECG signals, while recording are contaminated by several noises it is necessary
to preprocess the signals prior to classification. Digital filters are used to remove noise from the signal. Principal
component analysis is applied on the 12 lead signal to extract various features. The present paper shows the
unique feature, point score calculated on the basis of the features extracted from the ECG signal. The point
score calculation is tested for 40 myocardial infarction ECG signals and 25 Normal ECG signals from the PTB
Diagnostic database with 94% sensitivity.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

2. Need for ECG processing:
March 10, 2017
2
Electrocardiogram and heart rate are vital physiological signals to
monitor cardiovascular diseases(CVD).
A report by World Health Organization (March 2013) estimates
cases of CVD (including heart attack, stroke, angina) will increase
from 17.3 million in 2008 to 23.3 million by 2030 .
Hence, frequent monitoring is required for those under great risk for
cardiovascular diseases.
This signifies the importance of research in the recording and
processing of electrocardiogram signals.
3. Introduction - Electrocardiogram
3
The electrocardiogram is a graphic record of the direction and
magnitude of the electrical activity of the heart.
One cardiac cycle consists of the P-QRS-T wave.
The clinically useful information is found in the intervals and
amplitudes of an electrocardiogram.
March 10, 2017
4. ECG
Recorded with surface
electrodes on the limbs or chest.
ECG is used to measure the rate
and regularity of heartbeats, the
presence of any damage to the
heart.
5.
6. THE HEART
It is a 4 chambered
muscular organ
consist of 2 atriums
and 2 ventricles.
It function in a
regular fashion to
pump blood thought
the body.
Average heart rate
of a human being is
72beats/min
7. Uses of ECG
March 10, 2017
7
To find the orientation of the heart.
To determine heart rate and to analyze the working mechanism of
the heart.
To determine the extent of damage in various parts of the heart
muscle.
To diagnose an impending occurrence of heart attack or CVD.
To determine unusual electrical activity in patients with abnormal
cardiac rhythms.
To determine the thickness of the heart muscles.
To determine blockage areas and restricted blood flow areas in the
heart muscles.
10. Types of Noises in Electrocardiogram
10
• Power line interference
• Base line drift
• Motion artifacts
• Muscle contraction
• Electrode contact noise
• Instrumentation noise generated by electronic devices
March 10, 2017
11. Baseline Wander
Baseline wander, or extragenoeous low-frequency high-
bandwidth components, can be caused by:
Perspiration (effects electrode impedance)
Respiration
Body movements
Can cause problems to analysis, especially when examining the
low-frequency ST-T segment
12. Power Line Interference
Electromagnetic fields from power lines can cause 50/60 Hz sinusoidal
interference, possibly accompanied by some of its harmonics
Such noise can cause problems interpreting low-amplitude waveforms and
spurious waveforms can be introduced.
13. Source of ECG

Signal to Noise Ratio
where P is average power and A is RMS amplitude
Mean Square Error
MSE =
where N represents the total number of samples in the given signal,
x (i) is the original ECG and d (i) is the de-noised ECG.
15. What is a Transform
and Why Do we Need One ?
Transform: A mathematical operation that takes a function or
sequence and maps it into another one
Transforms are good things because…
The transform of a function may give additional /hidden
information about the original function, which may not be
available /obvious otherwise
The transform of an equation may be easier to solve than the
original equation (recall your fond memories of Laplace
transforms in DFQs)
The transform of a function/sequence may require less storage,
hence provide data compression / reduction
An operation may be easier to apply on the transformed function,
rather than the original function (recall other fond memories on
convolution).
16. Why Wavelet?
Time domain analysis, e.g. averaging (Not suitable for
non- stationary signals).
Frequency domain analysis (Not suitable for non-
stationary signals)
Time-frequency domain analysis
Statistical methods (SVD,EMD)
Time-scale domain analysis, e.g. wavelet (Variably-
sized regions for the windowing operation which
adjust to signal components).
18. DWT Analysis
DWT of original signal is obtained by concatenating all
coefficients starting from the last level of decomposition.
DWT will have same number of coefficients as original
signal.
Frequencies most prominent (appear as high
amplitudes) are retained and others are discarded
without loss of information.

20. Types of thresholding
In hard thresholding, a sudden change occurs, but in soft
thresholding, a change occurs linearly which gives good result.

21. Thresholding contd…
Hard-thresholding method: In hard thresholding, the remaining co-
efficients above the threshold remains unchanged as given by
Soft-thresholding method: In soft thresholding, the remaining
coefficients are reduced by an amount equal to the value of the
threshold.

22. Steps in Wavelet Filtering
March 10, 2017
22
Step 1: Decomposing of the noisy signals using wavelet
transform by using an appropriate mother wavelet and the noisy
signal is decomposed, at a suitable decomposition level to obtain
approximate coefficients aj and detail coefficients dj.
Step 2: Thresholding of the obtained wavelet coefficients
yields the estimated wavelet coefficients dj. For each level, a
threshold value is found, and it is applied to the detailed
coefficients.
Step 3: Inverse transformation to obtain the cleaned signal The
reconstruction of the de-noised ECG signal x (n) is done from the
values of dj and aj obtained by inverse discrete wavelet transform
(IDWT).
24. Three level decomposition of ECG signal
using wavelets
March 10, 2017
24
The useful information in ECG is contained in the frequency of 0.5
Hz-45 Hz ( Nagendra et al 2011).
The high frequencies contain the noise and the low frequencies of
the ECG contains the required data for the ECG analysis (Kumar &
Agnihotri 2010). Thus, this three level decomposition of the ECG
signal guarantees that the dominant frequency components of the
actual signal is not lost during this omission of coefficients of few
levels
The Daubechies family (Db 4) gives the best de- noising results for
the ECG data (Balasubramaniam & Nedumaran 2009). The Rigrous
Sure thresholding (Garg et al 2011) gives a better result than min-
max and universal thresholding.

29. Moving average filter
29
Moving average is a simple mathematical technique which is
set to remove the baseline wander noise removal.
It replaces each data point with the average of the neighboring
data points.
Advantages of moving average filter (Smith S W 1997) are given
below:
Moving average filter is considered as a optimal filter to reduce
random white noise while preserving the sharpest step response.
It is computationally fast as it requires addition and subtraction
operations rather than multiplication operations.
It is a recursive operation.
It has high execution speed.

35. Summary
March 10, 2017
35
The possible reasons for these wavelet based methods to be
effective only for power-line noises in ECG are given below :
The power line interference is narrow-band noise centered at 50 Hz
or 60 Hz with a bandwidth of less than 1Hz and the useful
information in ECG is contained in the frequency of 0.5 Hz - 45 Hz
The use of wavelets to de-noise ECG by decomposing the into
three levels removes the power line frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Wavelet based de-noising requires the selection of suitable wavelet
denoising parameters for the success electrocardiogram signal
filtration in wavelet domain

39. Multiwavelets (contd..)
39
Instead of one scaling function and one wavelet, multiple scaling
functions and wavelets are used.
Leads to more degree of freedom i.e more number of independent
samples to be used for reconstruction.

40. Multiwavelets (contd..)
March 10, 2017
40
Multiwavelets have properties such as compact support (value of
wavelet is 0 after a time interval a-b), orthogonality, symmetry and
vanishing moments (decay towards low frequency) when compared
to scalar wavelets.
The increase in the degree of freedom in multiwavelets is obtained at
the expense of replacing scalars with matrices, scalar functions with
vector functions and single matrices with block of matrices

46. Summary
March 10, 2017
46
Wavelet based de-noising requires the selection of suitable wavelet
de-noising parameters for the success electrocardiogram signal
filtration in wavelet domain
Multiwavelets are faster in decomposition and have good symmetry
properties.
Even though the performance of wavelets and multiwavelets are
greater than the adaptive filter method, wavelet transforms ignore
polynomial components of the signal up to the approximation order of
the basis.
It is also found that the wavelet and multiwavelet de-noising removes
power line noise alone from the ECG, but not the baseline noise.
47. EEG
The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of the electrical
activity of the brain from the scalp.
The first recordings were made by Hans Berger in 1929
The systematic approach of recognition, source identification, and
elimination of artifact is an important process to reduce the chance of
misinterpretation of the EEG and limit the potential for adverse
clinical consequences
48. EEG Waves
Alpha wave -- 8 – 13 Hz.
Beta wave -- >13 Hz. (14 – 30 Hz.)
Theta wave -- 4 – 7.5 Hz.
Delta waves – 1 – 3.5 Hz.
60. EEG Electrodes
Each electrode site is labeled with a letter and a
number.
The letter refers to the area of brain underlying the
electrode
e.g. F - Frontal lobe and T - Temporal lobe.
Even numbers denote the right side of the head
and
Odd numbers the left side of the head.
61.
62. Montage
Different sets of electrode arrangement on the scalp by 10 – 20
system is known as montage.
21 electrodes are attached to give 8 or 16 channels recording.
63. Factor influencing EEG
Age
Infancy – theta, delta wave
Child – alpha formation.
Adult – all four waves.
Level of consciousness (sleep)
Hypocapnia(hyperventilation) slow & high
amplitude waves.
Hypoglycemia
Hypothermia
Low glucocorticoids
Slow waves
64. Eye opening
Alpha rhythm changes to beta on eye opening (desynchronization /
α- block)
66. Use of EEG
Epilepsy
Generalized seizures.
Localize brain tumors.
Sleep disorders (Polysomnography- EEG activity together with
heart rate, airflow, respiration, oxygen saturation and limb movement)
Sleep apnea syndrome
Insomnia
Helpful in knowing the cortical activity
Determination of brain death.
Flat EEG(absence of electrical activity) on two records
run 24 hrs apart.
68. The artifact occurs with maximum amplitude and clearest QRS
morphology over the temporal regions and often is better formed and
larger on the left side.
The R wave is most prominent in channels that include the ear
electrodes.
Cardiac artifact
70. ECG artifact may occur inconsistently by not being present with every
contraction of the heart and may have an irregular interval when a
cardiac arrhythmia is present.
In either situation, it may be identified by its temporal association with
the QRS complexes in an ECG channel.
Cardiac pacemakers produce a different electrical artifact.
it is distinct from ECG artifact in both distribution and morphology.
Pacemaker artifact is generalized across the scalp and comprises high
frequency
72. Types:
Electrode pop
Electrode contact
Electrode/lead movement
Perspiration
Salt bridge
Movement artifact
Electrode artifact
73. Electrode artifacts usually manifest as one of two disparate waveforms,
brief transients that are limited to one electrode and low frequency
rhythms across a scalp region.
The brief transients are due to either spontaneous discharging of
electrical potential that was present between the electrode or its lead.
The spontaneous discharges are called electrode pops, and they
reflect the ability of the electrode and skin interface to function as a
capacitor and store electrical charge across the electrolyte paste or gel
that holds the electrode in place.
With the release of the charge there is a change in impedance, and a
sudden potential appears in all channels that include the electrode.
74. Poor electrode contact or lead movement produces artifact
with a less conserved morphology than electrode pop.
The poor contact produces instability in the impedance, which
leads to sharp or slow waves of varying morphology and
amplitude.
These waves may be rhythmic if the poor contact occurs in the
context of rhythmic movement, such as from a tremor.
Lead movement has a more disorganized morphology that does
not resemble true EEG activity in any form and often includes
double phase reversal
75. Lead movement
Multiple channels demonstrate the artifact through activity that is both unusually high
amplitude and low frequency and also disorganized without a plausible field
76. The smearing of the electrode paste between electrodes to form a salt
bridge or the presence of perspiration across the scalp both produce
artifacts due to an unwanted electrical connection between the
electrodes forming a channel.
Perspiration artifact is manifested as low amplitude, undulating waves
that typically have durations greater than 2 sec; thus, they are beyond
the frequency range of cerebrally generated EEG.
Slat bridge artifact differs from perspiration artifact by being lower in
amplitude, not wavering with low frequency oscillation, and typically
including only one channel
It may appear flat and close to isoelectric.
Sweat artifact
77. Sweat artifact
This is characterized by very low-frequency (here, 0.25- to 0.5-Hz) oscillations. The
distribution here (midtemporal electrode T3 and occipital electrode O1) suggests sweat
on the left side
78. Salt bridge artifact
Activity in channels that include left frontal electrodes is much lower in amplitude and frequency
than the remaining background. The lack of these findings when viewed in a referential montage
confirms that an electrolyte bridge is present among the electrodes involved.
80. 60 Hz artifact
The very high frequency artifact does not vary and is present in the posterior central
region, which does not typically manifest muscle artifact. This example was generated
by eliminating the 60Hz notch filter.
81. Electrical noise may also result from falling electrostatically charged
droplets in an IV drip.
A spike like EEG potential results, which has the regularity of the drip.
Intravenous drips
82. Electrical devices may produce other forms of noise.
Anything with an electric motor may produce high amplitude,
irregular or spike like artifact.
This is due to the switching magnetic fields within the motor.
The artifact occurs with the motor’s activity; thus, it may be constant
or intermittent, as is the case with infusion pumps.
Mechanical telephone bells are the classic source for a more
sinusoidal form of this artifact but are increasingly a less common
source of the intermittent form of this artifact.
Electrical devices: intravenous pumps,
telephone
83. Electrical motor
The very high frequency activity suggests an electrical source, and the fixed morphology
and repetition rate indicate an external device. This was caused by an electric motor
within the pump.
84.
85. Movement during the recording of an EEG may product artifact through
both the electrical fields generated by muscle and through a movement
effect on the electrode contacts and their leads.
Although the muscle potential fields are the signals sought by
electromyographers, they are noise to electroencephaographers.
Indeed, EMG activity is the most common and significant source of
noise in EEG.
EMG activity almost always obscures the concurrent EEG because of
its higher amplitude and frequency.
EMG
86. Muscle artifact
The high amplitude, fast activity across the b/l ant. region is due to facial muscle
contraction and has a distribution that reflects the locations of the muscles generating it.
Typical of muscle artifact, it begins and ends abruptly.
89. Repetitive blinks usually appear as a sequence of the slow wave
ocular artifacts and thus resemble rhythmic delta activity.
Although ocular flutter involves vertical eye movements, it differs
from repetitive blinks by being more rapid and having lower
amplitude.
90. Eye flutter artifact
Medium amplitude, low frequency activity that is confined to the frontal poles is identified
as ocular artifact through its morphology. Compared to blink artifact, flutter artifact
typically has a lower amplitude and a more rhythmic appearance
91. Lateral eye movement
Although a horizontal, frontal dipole is the key finding with lateral eye movements, the
artifact is also distinguished by its morphology, which has a more abrupt transition
between the positive and negative slopes that blinks and most flutter.
92. Artifacts are usually easily recognized by experienced EEGer.
The process of visual analysis and digital filtering allow
identification of most physiologic and nonphysiologic artifacts.
Digital filters can be applied and removed multiple times, and
can significantly improve interpretation of EEG contaminated by
artifacts by allowing specific frequencies to be removed from the
digital display.
Artifact detection and rejection
94. If the analysis is restricted to certain frequency bands, an
automated algorithm can be designed to only analyze activity in
this frequency band.
For ex., a 1 to 20Hz band pass may be used to remove muscle
artifact.
This method is not very useful for analysis of the entire
bandwidth of EEG, as artifacts can occur at any frequency.
Even for very narrow frequency bands, there may be significant
artifact remaining after band pass filtering.
The process of filtering may significantly alter the appearance of
EEG and make subsequent identification of artifacts more
difficult.
Use of Band Pass Filters:
95. In this case, a technologist or EEGer visually reviews the entire
EEG recording and marks segments with artifacts.
This is a reliable method, and may detect some artifact that
would be missed by automated techniques.
It is time consuming, however, and reader fatigue may become
problematic for long or multichannel recordings.
Subtle or brief artifacts may not be identified, and different
readers may have different thresholds for rejection.
This method is only possible for offline(not real time) digital
analysis.
Manual rejection of artifact
segments:
96. This technique rejects short segments of EEG if the segment
exceeds predefined thresholds.
These thresholds can be simple analysis of the EEG channels
themselves such as amplitude, numbers of zero crossings, or
60Hz artifact.
If a segment shows very high amplitude, it is eliminated.
Some techniques use other special electrodes to identify artifact
signals, such as EOG,EMG, EKG or accelerometers.
If the signal in these channels exceeds a threshold, the segment
of EEG will be rejected.
Automatic rejection of artifact
segments:
