The artifact subspace reconstruction (ASR) for EEG signal correction. A comparative study

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a comparative study of the artifact subspace re-construction (ASR) method and two other popular methods dedicated to correct EEG artifacts: independent component analysis (ICA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The comparison is based on automatic rejection of EEG signal epochs performed on a dataset of motor imagery data. ANOVA results show a significantly better level of artifact correction for the ASR method. What is more, the ASR method does not cause serious signal loss compared to other methods.
