Removal of Movement Artefact for Mobile EEG Analysis in Sports Exercises

Abstract

We present a method for the removal of movement artifacts from the recordings of electroencephalography (EEG) signals in the context of sports health. We use a smart wearable Internet of Things-based signal recording system to record physiological human signals [EEG, electrocardiography (ECG)] in real time. Then, the movement artifacts are removed using ECG as a reference signal and the baseline estimation and denoising with sparsity (BEADS) filter algorithm for trend removal. The parameters (cut-off frequency) of the BEADS filter are optimized with respect to the number of QRS complexes detected in the reference ECG signal. Next, surrogate movement signals are generated using a linear combination of intrinsic mode functions derived from the sample movement signals by the application of empirical mode decomposition. Surrogate signals are used to test the efficiency of the BEADS method for filtering the movement-contaminated EEG signals. We provide an analysis of the efficiency of the method, extracted movement artifacts and detrended EEG signals.

Classification of Interbeat Interval Time-Series Using Attention Entropy

“…IOLOGICAL signals are space, time, or space-time records of biological events such as the heart beating or a muscle contracting [1]. Biological signals including electroencephalogram (EEG) [2], electrocardiogram (ECG) [3], [4], electro-oculography (EOG) [5], surface electromyogram (sEMG) [6], [7], galvanic skin response (GSR) [8], [9] and respiration, are widely used in fields such as clinical disease diagnosis.…”

Four-classes Human Emotion Recognition Via Entropy Characteristic and Random Forest。

“…By using the long-term and short-term memory (lstm) network for causal filtering, Chen et al [12] reduced the filtering delay of EEG signals and improved the performance of neurofeedback devices. Butkeviciute et al [8] used baseline estimation and sparse filtering algorithm to remove the motion artifacts in EEG signals, and achieved good results. Chen et al [12] proposed a generalized correlation entropy based on generalized Gauss densi-ty (ggd) function and applied it to adaptive filtering.…”

“…Feature extraction is one of the key steps of emotion recognition through EEG signals. Due to the low complexity of time-frequency calculation, it is more likely to extract features in the frequency domain or the time-frequency domain in the actual research process [9]. In recent years, many entropy estimators have been used to quantify the complexity of EEG signals according to the instability of EEG signals [3], [20], among them, the estimation of differential entropy is equivalent to the logarithmic energy spectrum of a certain frequency band [4].…”

Frequency and Power Analysis of Eeg Theta Activity During Different Mathematical and Verbal Task in Males

“…It is known that the analysis of human EEG during various motor and image tasks is useful for evaluating the links between nervous system functions and behaviors and provides a simple measure of neural activity in real-time. The EEG is captured using wired sensors connected to specific locations along with the head [3]. Due to its non-invasive nature, EEG detection is widely used in many areas such as neurophysiology, psychology, pathophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroengineering, and even social psychology.…”
