A single-channel-based method for eliminating myoelectric noise in EEG signals

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for eliminating myoelectricity noise in an electroencephalogram signal based on a single channel. The method is characterized by comprising the steps that firstly, a single-channel electroencephalogram signal is decomposed into a plurality of intrinsic mode components through general average empirical mode decomposition; secondly, blind signal separation s conducted on the intrinsic mode components through multi-set canonical correlation analysis, and a plurality of canonical variables are obtained; finally, the canonical variables with the autocorrelation coefficient lower than a certain threshold value are judged to be myoelectricity noise, the myoelectricity noise variables are removed, and reconstruction is conducted to obtain the electroencephalogram signal with the myoelectricity noise removed. According to the method, the purpose of eliminating the myoelectricity noise in the electroencephalogram signal is effectively achieved from the brand new angle of the single channel, and compared with the traditional blind signal separation technology based on the multiple channels, the myoelectricity noise can be better eliminated. The method is suitable for portable and wearable single-channel and few-channel electroencephalogram devices, is also suitable for multi-channel electroencephalogram devices for clinical diagnosis and neuroscience researches, and significant importance is achieved in further researches of the true physiological activities of the human brain.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological information, and in particular relates to a single-channel-based method for eliminating myoelectric noise in EEG signals, which is mainly applied to mobile health monitoring of human brain functions and research on human brain-related diseases. Background technique [0002] EEG signals are weak spontaneous and rhythmic electrophysiological activities of human brain nerve cell groups recorded by precision medical instruments. They have the advantages of non-invasive acquisition and high time resolution, and have been widely used in medical clinical diagnosis and human-machine interface. and many other fields. However, since the EEG signal is a relatively weak electrophysiological signal at the microvolt level, it will inevitably be interfered by other electrophysiological activities such as myoelectricity, oculoelectricity, and electrocardiography. Among them, EMG noise is the most difficult so...
