    This study introduces a frequency-domain method to correct eye artifacts in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) power spectra. The technique effectively removes low-frequency interference, enabling clearer analysis of brain activity during eye movements.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for studying brain activity.
    • Eye movements introduce artifacts, particularly low-frequency components, that contaminate EEG power spectra.
    • Accurate spectral analysis requires effective artifact compensation methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a frequency-domain technique for compensating eye artifacts in mid-line scalp EEG.
    • To improve the accuracy of EEG power spectra calculations in the presence of eye movements.
    • To enable the recovery of dominant peaks in the EEG spectrum.

    Main Methods:

    • A frequency-domain approach was employed to analyze EEG and electrooculography (EOG) signals.

  • The ratio of EEG and EOG power spectra was calculated to identify and control for eye artifact contributions.
  • The technique was tested in 12 human subjects during both voluntary and random eye movements.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method effectively controlled for low-frequency components in the EEG signal attributed to eye artifacts.
    • Dominant peaks in the scalp EEG power spectrum were successfully recovered after artifact compensation.
    • The technique demonstrated efficacy during various types of eye movements.

    Conclusions:

    • The reported frequency-domain technique provides a robust solution for eye artifact removal in EEG spectral analysis.
    • This method enhances the reliability of EEG power spectra, facilitating more accurate interpretation of brain activity.
    • The technique is valuable for research requiring precise spectral analysis of EEG data, especially when eye movements are present.
