Objective In order to isolate and remove the spike-like electrooculogram (EOG) artifacts from EEG signals accurately, this paper proposed a novel method based on kernel independent component analysis (KICA) and masking-aided minimum arclength empirical mode decomposition (MAMA-EMD), namely KICMME, for the removal of EOG artifacts. Methods Firstly, the multichannel contaminated EEG signals were separated by KICA into several independent components (ICs). Secondly, the kurtosis value of each IC was calculated to detect EOG-related IC, and MAMA-EMD algorithm was used to decompose it further to obtain a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Furthermore, the IMFs linked with EOG were identified and eliminated by calculating the low-frequency power proportion of each IMF. Finally, the ‘clean’ EEG was reconstructed by performing the inverse transform of MAMA-EMD and KICA. Results Based on the experimental research of semi-simulated and real EEG data, KICMME achieved a mean square error (MSE) of 0.82 〖μV〗^2and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 12.51 dB, and the classification accuracy and Kappa values were 91% and 0.83 respectively. Conclusions MAMA-EMD can accurately isolate the IMF component associated with EOG, and KICMME can remove EOG artifacts from EEG signals to the maximum extent while retaining useful neural information, which has great improvement compared with the existing EOG artifact removal methods based on blind source separation.
