Description
Summary:Neural interfaces, such as microarrays and probes, consist of many electrodes for stimulating and recording purposes simultaneously. The multi-functional neural interface can suffer from many types of artefacts and noise, such as long-term use, environment, surrounding instruments and living subjects. This paper proposes a filtering approach by enhancing the band-pass and band-stop selection of the Kaiser Window finite-impulse response (FIR) filter based on the occurrence histogram of spectrum bands of neuronal signals in all channels. The implementation of the approach shows a clear enhancement of electrocorticogram (ECoG) signals by keeping the most important features and components, such as the interictal spikes.
