A new eliminating EOG artifacts technique using combined decomposition methods with CCA and H.P.F. techniques

Normally, the collected EEG signals from the human scalp cortex by using the non-invasive EEG collection methods were contaminated with artifacts, like an eye electrical activity, leading to increases in the challenges in analyzing the electroencephalogram for obtaining useful clinical information. In this paper, we do a comparison of using two decomposing methods (DWT and EMD) with CCA technique or High Pass Filter, for the elimination of eye artifacts from EEG. The eye artifacts (EOG) signals were extracted from the un-cleaned or raw EEG signals by DWT and EMD with CCA approach or H.P.F. The root means square error ratio of the uncontaminated EEG signal to the contaminated EEG signal with eye artifacts were the performance indicators for both elimination methods, which indicate that the combined CCA method outperforms the combined H.P.F method in the elimination of eye blinking contamination artifact from the EEG signal
