Deep Neural Network Based Unsupervised Artifact Detection Method on Electroencephalography
摘要
In long-term scalp electroencephalography (sEEG) recordings, physiological artifacts compromise data integrity and hinder its subsequent use and exploration. Presently, extant research predominantly focuses on the targeted mitigation of specific categories of artifacts, thereby failing to adequately account for the inherent diversity exhibited by sEEG artifacts. Consequently, these methods are limited in practical application. To address these limitations, an innovative brain region selection-based artifact detection algorithm is proposed in this paper, which combines deep neural network (DNN) and auto-encoder (AE) model. The DNN is employed to unearth the latent relationships among sEEG while the AE model is designed to complete the recognition of brain region. The proposed method utilizes the concept of anomaly detection to partition areas affected by artifacts, effectively minimizing interference caused by differences in samples. It can effectively identify the diverse artifacts from the sEEG data, consequently augmenting the utility of sEEG data. All sEEG data employed in this paper are collected from the Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang University (CHZU). Through the combination of unsupervised brain region selection and the DNN integrating multi-label classification, the proposed algorithm achieves the accuracy of 90% for artifact detection.
