Abstract

In recent years, single-channel physiological recordings have gained popularity in portable health devices and research settings due to their convenience. However, the presence of electrooculogram (EOG) artifacts can significantly degrade the quality of the recorded data, impacting the accuracy of essential signal features. Consequently, artifact removal from physiological signals is a crucial step in signal processing pipelines. Current techniques often employ Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to efficiently separate signal and artifact sources in multichannel recordings. However, limitations arise when dealing with single or a few channel measurements in minimal instrumentation or portable devices, restricting the utility of ICA. To address this challenge, this paper introduces an innovative artifact removal algorithm utilizing enhanced empirical mode decomposition to extract the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Subsequently, the algorithm targets the removal of segments related to EOG by isolating them within these IMFs. The proposed method is compared with existing single-channel EEG artifact removal algorithms, demonstrating superior performance. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in isolating artifact components, resulting in a reconstructed signal characterized by a strong correlation and a power spectrum closely resembling the ground-truth EEG signal. This outperforms the existing methods in terms of artifact removal. Additionally, the proposed algorithm exhibits significantly reduced execution time, enabling real-time online analysis.
