Study on Applying Independent Component Analysis to Remove Blink Artifacts and Power Noise in EEG WAN Bai-kun,ZHU Xin,YANG Chun-mei,GAO-Yang
Blink artifacts and power noise are constantly found:to strongly iufluence the acquisition and analysis of EEG signals.In this paper
by comparing the efficiencies of two ICA algorithms—Infomax-ICA and Extended-Infomax-ICA methods in extracting blink artifacts and power noise in the EEG signals
it was shown that ICA algorithms were insensitive to disturbance in the conditions of low signal-noise-ratio
and ICA algorithms demonstrated a strong robustness in processing non-stationary signals.Though blink slow waves could be extracted by infomax algorithm
but power noise was unlikely to be removed by it.Therefore
Extended-Infomax ICA algorithm should be used.By applying Extended-Infomax algorithms
blink artifacts and power noise contained in the 16-channel EEG signals of Alzheimer-disease patients were removed successfully(the lowest signal-noise-ratio for power noise can be -40dB).Meanwhile
it proved by calculating approximation entropy (ApEn) that ICA algorithms could preserve the nonlinear characteristics of EEG after removing the interference.
