Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used traditional procedure for diagnosing, monitoring and managing neurological disorders. Many artifact types that often contaminate EEG remain a key challenge for precise diagnosis of brain dysfunctions and neurological disorders. Hence, artifact removal is intuitively required for accurate EEG analysis and treatment. This paper presents a new extensive method that can remove a wide variety of EEG artifacts based mainly on Template Matching approach including multiple signal-processing tools. The method was evaluated and validated on real EEG data, giving promising results that offer better capabilities to neurophysiologists in routine EEG examinations and diagnosis.
