    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals frequently introduce electrical artifacts into electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, complicating neurological assessments.
    • Existing methods for ECG artifact removal often require simultaneous ECG recordings or complex signal transformations, limiting their practical application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel, artifact removal technique for electroencephalogram (EEG) data that does not necessitate a simultaneous electrocardiogram (ECG) recording.
    • To provide a method for accurately identifying and subtracting ECG-generated artifacts from EEG signals, thereby improving data quality for neurological research.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel signal-averaging approach was employed, processing subsets of EEG channels to identify R-wave times.
    • ECG artifact templates were generated for individual EEG channels by signal-averaging epochs around each R-wave.
    • The derived channel-specific templates were subtracted from the corresponding EEG channels to remove the artifact.

    Main Results:

    • The methodology was successfully validated in two infant cohorts, one with and one without a simultaneous ECG reference.
    • The developed method demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness even when ECG was not concurrently recorded.
    • Spectral analysis indicated that the results favorably compare with methods using simultaneous ECG recordings, confirming artifact removal efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel method offers an effective, artifact-removal solution for electroencephalogram (EEG) data without requiring simultaneous electrocardiogram (ECG) recording.
    • The technique's ability to remove ECG artifacts on an epoch-by-epoch basis, without requiring signal stationarity, enhances its versatility.
    • By removing ECG noise, this approach facilitates more accurate analysis of brain activity in critical frequency bands relevant to cognitive processes.
