Expert disagreement in electroencephalography (EEG) artifact removal is significant in the delta band. A minimalist approach showed comparable results to experts, suggesting potential for automated methods in quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Signal Processing
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) analysis relies on accurate artifact removal.
  • Variability in expert artifact identification can impact qEEG data reliability.
  • Disagreement among experts in artifact removal is a known issue in qEEG research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify inter-expert variability in artifact removal for qEEG data.
  • To compare expert artifact removal with a 'minimalist' (gross artifact removal only) approach.
  • To investigate the relationship between artifact error, frequency, and cranial location.

Main Methods:

  • Raw qEEG data from 12 subjects were processed by 6 experts and 1 minimalist artifact remover.
  • Standard errors (SEs) of measurement were calculated for 20 frequency bins (1.2 Hz intervals) across 20 electrode positions.

  • A novel statistical procedure was employed to analyze artifact error sources.

    • Main Results:

    • SEs decreased as frequency increased.
    • The minimalist approach yielded SEs comparable to those of expert artifact removal.
    • High SEs in the delta band were localized to frontal and frontotemporal regions.
    • SEs were minimal and consistent across the cranium for frequencies above 5.2 Hz.

    Conclusions:

    • Artifact removal unreliability, particularly in the delta band due to eye movement artifacts, poses a significant challenge.
    • The effectiveness of the minimalist approach suggests automated artifact detection methods could be a viable alternative to manual expert review.
    • The statistical procedure aids in understanding artifact error and identifying potential solutions.
