Heuristic-based cascaded convolutional neural network for enhanced artifacts removal from EEG signal
摘要
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is a useful therapeutic tool for detecting, monitoring, and treating neurological diseases. The clinical value of this signal is typically harmed by the signal contaminations or artifacts, particularly biological artifacts such as "Electrooculogram (EOG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and Electromyogram (EMG)". Generally, EEG artifact reduction techniques have been assumed as a critical first step in EEG analysis. Yet, in order to efficiently exploit the data, the related problems of EEG artifact reduction procedures need to be carefully labeled. Various methods for suppressing these artifacts have been developed, and most of these have shown significant improvements over uncorrected signals. The strategic performance of these algorithms, on the other hand, has not been adequately evaluated. Therefore, the research work presents a new deep learning-based EEG artifacts removal model by gathering the dataset from the standard publically available database. The development of the heuristic-based Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network (CCNN) for artifact removal is the fundamental purpose of the proposed method. CCNN is a novel deep learning architecture comprised of multiple CNNs. Here, the parameter optimization of the CCNN is performed by the hybrid Bird Swarm-based Harris Hawks Optimization (BS-HHO). The performance of the CCNN is validated by assigning a multi-objective fitness function with signal performance metrics like “Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE)”. The suggested technique has been compared to existing automated artifact removal algorithms on different artifacts datasets. Its improved performance has been demonstrated using a variety of performance measures.
