What Is Preprocessing? In general, preprocessing is the procedure of transforming raw data into a format that is more suitable for further analysis and interpretable for the user. In the case of EEG data, preprocessing usually refers to removing noise from the data to get closer to the true neural signals.
What is preprocessing in signal processing?
Preprocessing: This stage includes artifact (such as ECG, EOG, and EMG) removal, noise filtering, and resampling the signal to comply with detector input specifications. A low pass filter along with an artifact removal algorithm using adaptive signal processing techniques were implemented for this purpose [4].
What is preprocessing in BCI?
One type of preprocessing which is commonly used in BCI systems is spatial filtering. The goal of this technique is to create a new set of derived channels which enhance the separability of the data. One type of spatial filtering which we tested as a prepro- cessing step is independent component analysis (ICA).
How do you filter EEG data?
Digital filtering is a common preprocessing step when analyzing EEG data. The typical practice in EEG signal processing is to apply a high-pass filter to filter out slow frequencies less than 0.1 Hz or often even 1 Hz and a low-pass filter to filter out frequencies above 40 or 50 Hz Hz.
