How do you remove ECG artifacts from EMG?

To remove undesirable artifacts, after creating ECG template, this signal was low pass filtered with cutoff frequency of 50Hz. Since the highest frequency power of the ECG signal is between 0.1 Hz and 45 Hz, cutoff frequency of 50Hz is the best choice.

How do you remove motion artifacts from an ECG signal?

An existing method to remove the motion artefact is to employ an accelerometer for measuring the body movement at the same time of ECG detection [5]. However, for non-contact electrode structure of ECG detection, an accelerometer directly attached to the human body is unacceptable.

Why should artifacts be eliminated on an ECG reading?

Why should artifacts be eliminated if they occur in an ECG recording? Because artifacts affects the quality of the recording making it difficult to manually measure the ECG cycle; can also cause a false positive result on an ECG that is analyzed by a computer.

What are artifacts in EMG?

Basically, artifacts are noise sources that have overlaid onto the EEG and corrupted the purity of the brainwave signal when they are present. This is where noise filtering electronics, special materials and industrial design techniques are necessary to reduce noise influences.
