摘要：A generalized subspace approach is proposed for single channel brain evoked potential (EP) extraction from background electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. The method realizes the optimum estimate of EP signal from the observable noisy signal. The underlying principle is to project the signal and noise into signal and noise coefficient subspace respectively by applying projection matrix at first. Secondly, coefficient weighting matrix is achieved based on the autocorrelation matrices of the noise and the noisy signal. With the coefficient weighting matrix, we can remove the noise projection coefficients and estimate the signal ones. EP signal is then obtained by averaging the signals estimated with the reconstruction matrix. Given different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, the algorithm can estimate the EP signal with only two sweeps observable noisy signals. Our approach is shown to have excellent capability of estimating EP signal even in poor SNR conditions. The interference of spontaneous EEG has been eliminated with significantly improved SNR. The simulation results have demonstrated the effectiveness and superior performance of the proposed method. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
