Extraction of Event Related Potentials (ERP) from EEG Signals using Semi-blind Approaches
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hajipour Sardouie, Sepideh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays, Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most common method for brain activity measurement. Event Related Potentials (ERP) which are recorded through EEG, have many applications. Detecting ERP signals is an important task since their amplitudes are quite small compared to the background EEG. The usual way to address this problem is to repeat the process of EEG recording several times and use the average signal. Though averaging can be helpful, there is a need for more complicated filtering. Blind source separation methods are frequently used for ERP denoising. These methods don’t use prior information for extracting sources and their use is limited to 2D problems only. To address these...

Abstract
Removing muscle activity from ictal ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) data is an essential preprocessing step in diagnosis and study of epileptic disorders. Indeed, at the very beginning of seizures, ictal EEG has a low amplitude and its morphology in the time domain is quite similar to muscular activity. Contrary to the time domain, ictal signals have specific characteristics in the time-frequency domain. In this paper, we use the time-frequency signature of ictal discharges as a priori information on the sources of interest. To extract the time-frequency signature of ictal sources, we use the Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) method. Then, we propose two time-frequency based semi-blind source...
