Generally, the desired VEP is corrupted by background electroencephalogram (EEG) behaving as colored noise, making the overall signal-to-noise ratio as low as -10 dB. The estimator is designed to minimize signal distortion, while keeping residual noise below a specified threshold. Also, the algorithm applies a Karhunen-Loeve transform to decorrelate the corrupted VEP signal and decompose it into two parts called signal and noise subspace. Before an inverse Karhunen-Loeve transform is applied, the noise only subspace is discarded. VEP enhancement is therefore achieved by estimating the desired VEP only from the signal subspace. The performance of the filter to detect the latencies of P100's is comprehensively assessed using realistically simulated VEP and EEG data. Later, the effectiveness and validity of the algorithm are evaluated using real patient data recorded in a clinical environment. The results from both experiments show that the estimator generates reasonably low errors and high success rate. © EURASIP, 2009. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84863739060&partnerID=40&md5=f4700a392bec33681bd9803133eefd17 full_text_status: none publication: European Signal Processing Conference place_of_pub: Glasgow pagerange: 2322-2326 refereed: TRUE issn: 22195491 citation: Yusoff, M.Z. and Kamel, N.
