The validity and efficiency of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using correlation coefficient and signal-to-artifact ratio (SAR) and the proposed algorithm is also compared with other popular eye blink artifact removal techniques (CCA, ICA, EMD-ICA) on simulated EEG data of two channels. From the simulation results, the average correlation coefficients for the EEG channels are obtained as 0.908 and 0.864 respectively. The SAR of the EEG signal also improved from 2.2 dB to 6.0 dB after correction using our proposed method. Compared to other eye blink artifact removal techniques, our proposed method has two benefits. Firstly, no visual inspection is required to detect the eye blink artifact components. Secondly, computational assessment of corrected EEG waveforms reveals that the proposed algorithm retrieves the EEG data by removing the eye blink artifacts reliably. © 2013 IEEE. %Z cited By 42; Conference of 2013 7th ICME International Conference on Complex Medical Engineering, CME 2013 ; Conference Date: 25 May 2013 Through 28 May 2013; Conference Code:98395
