◦ Early warning of seizures (prediction) onset in order to stop seizure
Special Features
◦ Continuous monitoring
◦ Wireless EEG (up to 10 m or so)
◦ Usually Dry electrode
◦ Few no. of channels
typically 4-8 channels
◦ Patient can lead normal daily life
Except few tasks (e.g. taking bath)

Rhythmic eye flutter can occur at quite high frequencies, in this case 5–8 Hz, and trigger automated seizure detection algorithms.
This artifact can be distinguished from ictal events in different ways, including the lack of evolution in frequency or amplitude over time.

Electrode Tapping
Artifact
With ambulatory EEG recording, there may be periods in which the patientis scratching or pressing on the scalp electrodes.

Jaw-Clenching
Artifact
Periods of jaw clenching and biting during ambulatory EEG recording can be associated with artifact.
This activity is often most prominent over the temporal regions, presumably due to temporalis or masseter muscle contraction.
![Page 8: Artifact removal from ambulatory eeg](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a5d4911a28abeb148b4697/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chewing Artifact
Chewing artifact can often have rhythmic features and at times may resemble ictal activity.
This artifacts are characterized by the rhythmic appearance of muscle artifact centered mostly over the temporal regions bilaterally.
![Page 9: Artifact removal from ambulatory eeg](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032616/55a5d4911a28abeb148b4697/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Chewing Artifact
Recorded by
Spike Detection
Algorithm
Chewing artifact can have rhythmic and sharp features, and can thus be picked up by automated detection algorithms.
Here, the spike detections at 23:53:23 and at 23:53:34 capture high frequency sharp waveforms that are artifactual in nature, in association with a nighttime snack.

Dry Electrode Artifact
One disadvantage of ambulatory EEG monitoring is the inability of technologists to check on recording quality frequently in real time and to respond with appropriate technical adjustments as needed throughout the day, as would typically occur in an inpatient monitoring unit.
Here, a dry electrode at F8 causes an artifact seen throughout this excerpt.

Forehead Rubbing
Artifact
As with many other patient movement artifacts, rhythmic rubbing artifact can be a potentially confusing finding on ambulatory EEG monitoring, particularly in the absence of concomitant video recording. Here, rhythmic rubbing of the forehead produces an artifact in the anterior channels, extending from the beginning of this excerpt through 20:50:16.
Differentiation of such artifact from an ictal event, based on the lack of evolution of the artifact in frequency or amplitude, is critical.

Pulse Artifact
Pulse artifact is caused by the rhythmic movement of scalp electrodes, usually over the temporal regions, by the pulsations of blood through vessels close to the skin, such as the superficial temporal artery. It is to be distinguished from the more common electrocardiographic (EKG) artifact in that pulse artifact is typically not as sharply contoured, resembles a slow wave, and follows the QRS complex rather than being simultaneous to it. Here, pulse artifact is seen in channels 9 and 10 over the left temporal region throughout this entire excerpt.

o The target is to remove artifacts as much as possible
o Artifact removal should enhance the performance of later signal processing stage (e.g. increase seizure detection rate)
o Average amount of artifact reduction is around 35% when artifact SNR is around 0 dB
o Not all artifacts affect seizure detection performance

Note: The features between seizure and non-seizure data are more separable after artifact removal which suggests that it increases the detection rate and minimizes false alarms (false alarms are due to artifacts).
