An efficient processing approach is needed to deal with the nonlinear, nonstationary, and time-varying EEG signals produced by BCI apparatus. This study proposes a method using Singular Spectrum Analysis and Independent Component Analysis to preprocess the EEG data and effectively remove artifacts such as EOG, ECG, and EMG while preserving essential brain activity.
An efficient processing approach is essential for increasing identification accuracy since the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals produced by the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) apparatus are nonlinear, nonstationary, and time-varying. The interpretation of scalp EEG recordings can be hampered by nonbrain contributions to electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, referred to as artifacts. Common disturbances in the capture of EEG signals include electrooculogram (EOG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG) and other artifacts, which have a significant impact on the extraction of meaningful information. This study suggests integrating the Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) methods to preprocess the EEG data. The key objective of our research was to employ Higher-Order Linear-Moment-based SSA (HOL-SSA) to decompose EEG signals into multivariate components, followed by extracting source signals using Online Recursive ICA (ORICA). This approach effectively improves artifact rejection. Experimental results using the motor imagery High-Gamma Dataset validate our method's ability to identify and remove artifacts such as EOG, ECG, and EMG from EEG data, while preserving essential brain activity.
