The electroencephalography (EEG) signal is a noninvasive and complex signal that has numerous applications in biomedical fields, including sleep and the brain–computer interface. Given its complexity, researchers have proposed several advanced preprocessing and feature extraction methods to analyze EEG signals. In this study, we analyze a comprehensive review of numerous articles related to EEG signal processing. We searched the major scientific and engineering databases and summarized the results of our findings. Our survey encompassed the entire process of EEG signal processing, from acquisition and pretreatment (denoising) to feature extraction, classification, and application. We present a detailed discussion and comparison of various methods and techniques used for EEG signal processing. Additionally, we identify the current limitations of these techniques and analyze their future development trends. We conclude by offering some suggestions for future research in the field of EEG signal processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
