    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Computational Biology
    • Bioinstrumentation

    Background:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for studying brain activity in rats.
    • Real-time analysis of EEG data presents computational challenges.
    • Artefacts in EEG signals can significantly distort spectral analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an on-line minicomputer system for analyzing rat EEG.
    • To implement and evaluate a fast Fourier transformation (FFT) method for EEG spectral analysis.
    • To develop and validate an artefact removal technique for improved EEG data quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a minicomputer for on-line EEG data acquisition and processing.
    • Employed fast Fourier transformation (FFT) on 10-second EEG epochs.

  • Developed a clipping method to exclude high-voltage spikes, spindles, and baseline drift.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete FFT analysis was performed within 7 minutes of EEG signal registration.
    • The clipping method successfully mitigated the influence of common EEG artefacts.
    • The normalized standard error of the power density estimate was a maximum of 26% after smoothing.

    Conclusions:

    • The described minicomputer system provides efficient on-line EEG analysis in rats.
    • The FFT and clipping method enhance the accuracy of power density spectrum estimation.
    • This approach facilitates more reliable EEG signal interpretation in preclinical research.
