A digital online technique for motion artifact (MA) tracking and compensation is reported for electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring using dry-contact electrodes. A safe, low-level pseudorandom noise (PN) signal is driven to the body through a reference electrode as a test signal to measure the bio-potential acquisition-path gain (APG) of the electrode-tissue interface (ETI). The measurement result is then utilized by a digitaldomain gain compensator to act in the opposite way to the MAinduced APG variation, thereby compensating the multiplicative motion artifact (MMA) in real time. The remaining baseline wander or additive motion artifact (AMA) is treated by a digital high-pass filter (HPF). The interference of the test signal to the EEG signal acquisition is negligible in this technique due to the nearly white spectrum of the PN signal.
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.
