Abstract

Electrooculogram (EOG) correction is used to remove eye-movement-related contamination from electroencephalograms (EEG). Correction is reliant on the regression procedure, although when multiple EOG channels are used in the correction, the appropriate type of regression to use is not known. In the present study, we aimed to resolve this matter. Computer simulations were used to compare the simultaneous, multiple-stage, and single-channel regression methods of correction. EOG propagation was modeled on prior findings, under conditions of varying vertical and horizontal EOG (VEOG/HEOG) correlation. The dependent variable was the correlation between the uncontaminated and the corrected EEG. The simultaneous regression procedure gave the best correction, with its advantage increasing as a function of VEOG/HEOG correlation. It is recommended that the simultaneous regression procedure be used for EOG correction of the EEG.
