Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a crucial tool for studying brain activity; yet it frequently encounters artifacts that distort meaningful neural signals. This paper addresses the challenge of artifact removal through a unique hybrid method, combining Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) techniques with Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithms. VMD, recognized for its adaptability to non-linear and non-stationary EEG data, as well as its ability to alleviate mode mixing and the “endpoint effect,” which serves as an effective preprocessing step. The paper evaluates the performance of two integrated BSS algorithms, AMICA and AMUSE, across various criteria. Comparisons across metrics such as Euclidean distance, Spearman correlation coefficient, and Root Mean Square Error reveal similar performance between AMICA and AMUSE. However, a distinct divergence is evident in the Signal to Artifact Ratio (SAR). When employed with VMD, AMICA demonstrates superiority in effectively discerning and segregating brain signals from artifacts, which gives a mean value of 1.0924. This study introduces a potent hybrid VMDBSS approach for enhancing EEG signal quality. The findings emphasize the notable impact of AMICA, particularly in achieving optimal results in artifact removal, as indicated by its superior performance in SAR. The abstract concludes by underlining the significance of these results, emphasizing AMICA’s pivotal role in achieving the highest measurable evaluation value, making it a compelling choice for researchers and practitioners in EEG signal processing.
