An alternative method for the removal of the ocular artifact from the EEG signal.

Unlabelled: The aim of this paper is to develop a technique of rejection or minimization of ocular artifacts from the electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings.

Material And Method: The method presented is based on mathematical morphology. The algorithm and the individual structuring element are presented along with the particularities concerning the parameters that characterize the structuring element.

Results: The obtained results are shown in a comprehensive form by means of an illustrating example that evidences the efficiency of the method.

Conclusions: The proposed method simplyfies the task of removing the ocular artifacts by means of nonlinear filtering and introduces a new structural element for the job. The results are validated by means of Fourier analysis and this clearly shows its effectiveness.
