Artifacts in the electroencephalogram (EEG) degrade signal quality and impact the analysis of brain activity.
A convolutional neural network (CNN) model incorporating a convolutional block attention module (CNN-CBAM) is proposed to detect and identify the location of artifacts in sleep EEG with attention maps.
The CNN-CBAM model achieved high performance with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.88), sensitivity (0.81), and specificity (0.86) when compared to other approaches.
This work demonstrates the feasibility of automating the detection and localization of artifacts in wearable sleep EEG.
