Electroencephalography (EEG) data are affected by unwanted signals and noises from different sources. Diagnoses and analyses of human brain illnesses require a strong neurological signal.

摘要

Electroencephalography (EEG) data are affected by unwanted signals and noises from different sources. Diagnoses and analyses of human brain illnesses require a strong neurological signal. Therefore, detecting the EEG artifacts is a crucial step in order to facilitate the elimination process. This research paper proposes a new approach based on EEG signal analysis to automatically detect and identify EEG artifacts related to eyebrows, blinks, and head movements. The approach evaluates the use of a set of machine learning techniques to classify artifacts relating to a set of EEG data. A fusion of three types of features is extracted in this work. Finally, an evaluation phase is introduced involving a variety of evaluation measures, namely accuracy, precision, recall/sensitivity, specificity, and f-score. The most relevant captured results are presented as follows: an accuracy of 87.50%, precision of 0.93, recall/sensitivity of 0.87, specificity of 0.96, and f-score of 0.88. These results confirm that our proposed approach can be effective for identifying artifacts related to eyebrow, blink, and head movement artifacts.
