Kazuki Onikura, Yoshinori Katayama, Keiji Iramina, Evaluation of a Method of Removing Head Movement Artifact from EEG by Independent Component Analysis and Filtering, Advanced Biomedical Engineering, DOI:10.14326 / abe.4.67, 4, 67-72, 2015.03, Artifacts that contaminate electroencephalography (EEG) signals make it difcult to analyze EEG. The aim of this study was to removal artifacts on EEG, especially those caused by motion, to measure EEG in unconstrained situations. In a previous study, head movements were detected by an accelerometer, and motion artifact components were separated from the recorded EEG by independent component analysis (ICA). This method is effective for reducing the effect of artifacts, but has a risk that EEG components are also removed.
In this paper, we introduce an improved artifact removal method based on ICA and filtering. EEG were decomposed by ICA, and a Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated between each independent component and each hybrid accelerometer value to distinguish artifact components. Artifact components were then high-pass filtered. In this study, subjects were instructed to move their heads randomly, while keeping their eyes closed. The previous method was adapted using 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 s to find the most suitable epoch to minimize the mean absolute amplitude of the cleaned EEG. Then, using this epoch, the proposed method was compared with the previous method by frequency analysis.
Low frequency power (0.1–3 Hz) was normalized to unity because most power caused by motion artifacts exists in the low power band. If the normalized theta (4–8Hz), alpha (8–13Hz) and beta (13–40Hz) powers of cleaned EEG are higher than that of raw EEG, this indicates that the effect of motion artifacts is small and EEG components are retained.
The results obtained from theta and alpha power comparison showed that the proposed method performed better than the previous method. This result suggests that the proposed artifact removal method is more effective to reduce the effect of artifacts while retaining the EEG components..

Fumiyoshi Matsusaki, Yoshinori Katayama, Keiji Iramina, Influence of TMS Coil Orientation in the Simulation of Neuronal Excitation by TMS Using an Axon Model and Cerebral Cortex Model, Advanced Biomedical Engineering, DN/JST.JSTAGE/abe/1.55, 1, 1, 55-59, 2013.06, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows non-invasive and painless stimulation of local
cerebral nerves using eddy current generated by electromagnetic induction with a TMS coil. Although TMS is
used in various fields, which area of the brain is stimulated is not known because of the complicated structure of
the organ. In this study, we simulated neuronal excitement by TMS using the finite element method. First, we
designed a brain sulcus model consisting of cerebrospinal fluid, gray matter and white matter, using 0.5 mm cube
elements. To improve calculation accuracy, cube element size was set to 0.5/3 mm only in regions near the
boundary surface. Second, we applied TMS stimulation to the model in different conditions. We used coil radii of
10, 20, 30 and 40 mm, and coil orientation at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°, which is defined as the angle between the
orientation of the electric field and the axon. Finally, we calculated the membrane potential and compared the
results obtained under different conditions. We found that membrane potential changed rapidly at the white
matter and gray matter interface when the coil radius was over 20 mm and coil orientation was within 60°
between the orientation of the electric field and the axon. These results provide useful information on appropriate
TMS parameters for effective stimulation of target area in the brain..

by the Equivalent Circuit Simulation Improved Performance
, 5th Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering 2011: Biomed 2011, 20-23 June 2011, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Ifmbe Proceedings), 10.1007/ 978-3-642-21729-6, 35, 519-522, 2011.06, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is the non-invasive stimulus method to the brain by inducing the eddy current within the brain from the TMS coil placed outside the scalp. The induced eddy current stimulates the nerve circuit causes to suppress the brain activity partially in time and space, and it is applied to detect the brain functions etc. When TMS is applied to the brain while measuring the electroencephalography (EEG), the induced artifact caused by TMS covers on the EEG, it is called the TMS artifact. The amplitude of the TMS artifact is generally too large to omit diagnosing the EEG. Therefore some methods have been proposed to negate the TMS artifact from the EEG including the TMS artifact using the EEG only. We proposed a new method for describing the shape of the induced artifact in the EEG applied TMS using two equivalent circuit models, the TMS equipment model and the equivalent circuit model of bioelectric measurement system, under some simplified approximations.
This paper shows that some attempts are applied to the proposed method to improve the performance of fitting and eliminating the TMS artifact. One is to derive the strict solution of the TMS artifact by omitting some simplified approximations. Other is the countermeasure against errors calculating inverse matrix while estimat-ing parameters of fitting shape of the TMS artifact. One attempt is found that the strict solution improves the shape fitting but not so far from the approximated solu-tion. Other attempt improves stability of the simulation. These attempts are found that some time parameters which determine the time-transition such as “Tc” should separately treat against other time constant parameters which are derived from circuit parameters. Moreover, considering the residual component this is not described on the circuit model.
