Abstract: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the Brain-Computer Interface and
the more scientific discoveries that have resulted from it. The ultimate goal of this review is to provide
extensive research in BCI systems while also focusing on artifact removal techniques or methods that have
recently been used in BCI and important aspects of BCIs. In its pre-processing, artifact removal
methodologies were critical. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the applicability, practical challenges,
and outcomes associated with BCI advancements. This has the potential to accelerate future progress in this
field. This critical evaluation examines the current state of BCI technology as well as recent advancements.
It also identifies various BCI technology application areas. This detailed study shows that, while progress
is being made, significant challenges remain for user advancement A comparison of EEG artifact removal
methods in BCI was done, and their usefulness in real-world EEG-BCI applications was talked about. Some
directions and suggestions for future research in this area were also made based on the results of the review
and the existing artifact removal methods.

1. Introduction
Recent advances in biomedical engineering,
medicine, and information technology have
enabled the development of
electroencephalography-based Brain-Computer
Interfaces that do not require invasive brain
surgery [1,2]. Disproportion in these frequencies
is used to diagnose certain disorders and diseases
[3,4], and numerous studies of EEG signals have
shown that certain signal bands are strongly
associated with particular activities. Table 1
shows the various brain wave patterns and
activities.
The term "Brain-Computer Interface" (also
"Brain-Machine Interface," "Human Computer
Interface," or "Neural Interface") refers to the
integration of hardware and software to facilitate
communication between a biological object and a
computer. The fields of neuroscience, signal
processing, and clinical research all intersect with
AI and ML in BCI studies, making them an
interdisciplinary field in and of themselves.

The BCI system's operation necessitates the use
of three modules:
1.signal capturing
2. processing of signals
3. application interface & applications
2. Signal Capturing Block
The electrophysiological signals used by the BCI
are captured by the Signal Capturing Module.
The brain is the source of these signals [7]. Both
invasive and non-invasive methods have been
developed for BCI research, but invasive
methods like electrocardiograms (ECoG) and
single-neuron recordings have proven more
effective [7,8]. Comparison of signal quality with
other non-invasive brain imaging techniques,
including magnetoencephalography, positron
emission tomography, functional magnetic
resonance imaging, near-infrared spectroscopy,
and fMRI [8]. The acquired signals are amplified
to increase their strength before transmission.
Before any computer application, they must be
encoded.
3. Processing Of Signals Block
3.1 Signal Pre-Processing
As illustrated in Figure 2, preprocessing of EEG
signals is an essential first step in any brain-
computer interface-based application. The signal
is cleaned up by subtracting out artifacts like
ECG, EOG, and EMG measurements, filtering
out noise, and resampling it to meet detector input
specifications.

Fig.2.Signal preprocessing steps in BCI system
Pre-processing is often done to increase
the recorded data's signal to noise ratio
before processing. Artifacts in the EEG
signal can be eliminated by filtering out
the electrical activity produced by head
and eye muscle contractions. In order to
remove artifacts from an EEG recording,
a preprocessing of the signal is required.
When properly implemented, BCI
systems can Accurate categorization
relies heavily on the EEG signal being
properly preprocessed. The EEG signal
can be cleaned up and made ready for
analysis by doing some preliminary
processing. BSS, which stands for "blind
source separation," is a popular pre-
processing method [9].Artifacts are
frequently observed in many forms of
EEG signals, as shown in Table 2.

According to the data in the table above,
the most common techniques used to clean up
EEG signals include Blind Source Separation
(BSS), Principal Component Analysis (PCA),
Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), Discrete
Wavelet Transform (DWT), Stationary Wavelet
Transform (SWT), Empirical Mode
Decomposition (EMD), Ensemble Empirical
Mode Decomposition (EEMD), Wavelet
Transform, and Adaptive Filtering. The
performance parameters, including the
correlation co-efficient, Mean Square Error,
Power Spectral Density, Signal-to-Noise Ratio,
and Execution Speed and Complexity, are all
improved when the preprocessing stage is
enhanced.
The above table details a discussion of advanced
artifact removal techniques for the examples
given, including those by nar, Salim(2021), who
discussed and implemented a new algorithm, the
classical Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm,
and the Normalized LMS algorithm (using
Independent Component Analysis, Kurtosis, K-
means, a modified Z-score, and an adaptive noise
canceler) for removing eye blink artifacts from
both real and simulated data. The system has the
limitation of only being able to deal with ocular
artifacts, making it a less-than-efficient method;
the subtraction process can result in the loss of
important EEG signals; and in another paper by
Borowicz and Adam, they discussed independent
component analysis (ICA) and regression
analysis principles and implemented them using

a multichannel Wiener filter; and in this study,
they used a subset of frontal electrodes to detect
ICA. It also works great with real-time systems,
which is apparently crucial for BCI
research. Additionally, a novel concept was
implemented by Zhou, Weidong, and Jean
Gotman using Independent Component Analysis
in combination with the EEG dipole model, with
a primary focus on ocular artifact elimination.
This technique was found to be effective in
automatically eradicating ocular artifacts from
the EEG. Song, YoungJae, and Francisco
Sepulveda also implemented the system using
ICA, in addition to PCA, and BSS-CCA to
remove EMG artifacts by a novel technique
called EMG-cch and best suited for use along
with the other techniques the data only
implemented on simulation results.
Genetic algorithm (GA), a technique proposed by
Trigui, Omar, et al., decreases the RMSE
between unprocessed and processed EEG data.
Using only simulated data and a small number of
channels, the proposed approach nevertheless
achieves satisfactory results.
Each and every eye blink artifact was correctly
identified by the proposed method by Cao,
Jiuwen.etal, with zero false positives.
The method developed by Egambaram,
Ashvaany, et al. CFast EMD-CCA and Fast
CCA introduced a method for detecting eye
blink artifacts without human supervision by
combining a variant of Empirical Mode
Decomposition with Canonical Correlation
Analysis. Artifact-free EEG segments showed
hardly any distortion, with an accuracy of more
than 97% and a removal speed of 10-13 ms, on
average. Artifacts caused by an eyeblink can be
corrected online with minimal neural distortion.
To eliminate EB artifacts from the EEG signal,
Sreeja, S. R., et al. suggested a method known as
K-SVD with morphological component analysis.
Both of these methods are sparsity-based
methodologies that work on both real and
simulated data without the need for channel
information, parameter tweaking (such as
thresholding), or additional hardware/EEG
channels.
Adaptive filtering for ocular artifacts
using recursive least squares was given by He,
Ping, G. Wilson, and C. Russell. When applied to
real-world data, this method follows the dynamic
components of EOG signals. It cannot be
generalized to situations involving three or more
reference inputs, but it can be automatically
adapted to a new setting without compromising
its efficacy.
Using the Robust Variable Forgetting Factor
(RVFF) and Recursive Least Square (RLS),
Chintala, Sridhar, and Jaisingh Thangaraj solved
the problem of ocular artifacts. This method
estimates and follows non-stationary EOG
signals so that pure EEG signals can be extracted
from both real and simulated data. In unstable
conditions, tracking accuracy decreases. The
proposed method achieves the smallest mean
square error in a dynamic environment.
Yadav, Anchal, and Mahipal Singh Choudhry
compute Kurtosis and mean squared error
(mSSE) using Ensemble Empirical Mode
Decomposition (EEMD) and Spatial Constraint
Independent Component Analysis (SCICA).
EEMD is also used to overcome the mode mixing
and aliasing problem of EMD, which is typically
performed on Real data. Improving the
constraints used in ICA and wavelet-enhanced
independent component analysis can further
boost performance. In order to get rid of ocular
artifacts, Gajbhiye, Pranjali, and Rajesh Kumar
Tripathy presented a rhythm separation technique
based on FBSE-EWT. Ocular artifacts can be
removed from an EEG signal using the Fourier-
Bessel series expansion based empirical wavelet
transform (FBSEEWT) method, which has been
extensively validated for real-valued data and
does not require a reference signal. When many
modes of EEG rhythm information appear, this
phenomenon is referred to as "mode mixing." The
suggested method outperforms state-of-the-art
alternatives, with a mean absolute error (MAE) in
peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSR) of only 0.029 for
rhythm.
Using entropy, kurtosis, skewness, and the
stationary wavelet transform, Islam, Md. Kafiul,
Parviz Ghorbanzadeh, and Amir Rastegarnia
proposed a method for eliminating artifacts
across all modalities. When evaluated with real
and simulated data, the results reveal that the
proposed artefact removal significantly improves
BCI output. The proposed technique still needs
better discrimination capacity and has weak
ability to eliminate genuine artefacts. The

suggested method for mapping artificial

5. Conclusion
The work is mostly considered in the
preprocessing step of the overall BCI systems.
The goal of the pre-processing stage in a BCI
applications is to decrease artifacts in the EEG
signal generated by the numerous sources. Based
on the findings in the available literature, this
report summarized the key techniques, Some of
the techniques uses exclusively used for
removing artifacts which is related to eye blink
(EOG)artifacts, ECG ,EMG and all other
movement related artifacts here by go through the
different research articles basically uses different
algorithams separately or combinely that reveals
the output without artifacts in EEG signal
processing which combined with BCI related
applications either it may be cursor
movement,wheel chair movement,video
gaming,bio medical etc. Some methods, such as
adaptive filtering, Morphological Component
Analysis (MCA) and K-SVD and Entropy,
kurtosis, skewness, periodic waveform index,
remove artifacts with high precision,which works
on both real and simulated data or either of the
one , however methods with high computational
cost may not be suited for online applications. As
a result, there is no best option for removing all
forms of artifacts. So, one of the future goals of
effective artifact attenuation is to provide an
application-specific methodology with improved
time and precision, efficiency.
