EEG is a record of brain activity from various sites of the brain. Artefacts are unwanted noise signals in an EEG record. Classification of artefacts based on source of its generation like physiological artefacts and external artefacts. Body of the subjects are main source of Physiological artifacts, while external artefacts are from outside the body due to the environment or measuring devices. Recognition, identification and elimination of artifacts is an important process to minimize the chance of misinterpretation of EEG, not only for clinical and non-clinical fields such as brain computer interface, intelligent control system robotics etc. This paper classifies the artefacts from the database collected at Dr. R. N. Cooper Mun. General Hospital Mumbai India.
