Description

Method and system for removing electroencephalogram noise under transcranial direct current stimulation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of non-invasive nerve regulation, in particular to a method and a system for removing electroencephalogram signal noise under transcranial direct current stimulation, mainly aiming at a denoising method of electroencephalogram signals (including event-related potentials and resting state signals) collected at a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stimulation stage, and mainly applied to optimization of tDCS regulation parameters, regulation of cognitive functions and intervention of neuropsychiatric diseases.
Background
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technology for regulating and controlling brain excitability through current, previous researches show that the technology has effective effects on modulation and intervention of cognitive functions and mental diseases, but the clinical application and popularization of the technology are hindered due to the unclear regulation scheme and mechanism. the combination of the tDCS and the brain imaging technology is used for solving the problem, and on one hand, the combination is beneficial to observing and optimizing the regulation and control parameters in the tDCS stimulation process in real time; on the other hand, by regulating and controlling excitability of a target brain region and collecting brain imaging data under specific experimental design, the causal relationship between human cognition and brain activity is favorably revealed.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive brain imaging technique that can acquire weak neuroelectrical signals on the scalp, but is also susceptible to noise interference. Because tDCS generates noise much larger than the neural source signal during stimulation (more than 1000 times under 2mA stimulation), the electroencephalogram signals collected during tDCS stimulation cannot be used for further analysis. Therefore, the previous research combining EEG and tDCS is limited to collecting and analyzing EEG signals before and after tDCS stimulation, and signals in the stimulation process cannot be effectively analyzed, so that the change of brain activities in the regulation and control process cannot be explored. Therefore, the evaluation of the noise characteristics of the electroencephalogram signals synchronously acquired in the tDCS stimulation process and the development of a corresponding denoising technology are important prerequisites for promoting the application of the tDCS in cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuroscience.
In the past, systematic review is carried out on noise components of electroencephalogram signals acquired in the tDCS stimulation process, but a targeted denoising technology is not developed in combination with noise characteristics, which probably is the most main reason for restricting the application of synchronously acquiring electroencephalogram (EEG-tDCS) in the tDCS stimulation process.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the invention provides a method for removing noise of an electroencephalogram signal under transcranial direct current stimulation, which comprises the following steps:
[ S1 ] an electroencephalogram cap compatible with transcranial direct current stimulation is adopted, and electroencephalogram signals are synchronously collected in the process of applying transcranial direct current stimulation to a tested person.
Taking electroencephalogram signals collected in rest and task states in the tDCS stimulation process as an example, a specially-made tDCS compatible electroencephalogram cap is adopted, and stimulation sites are shown in figure 3. Specifically, in a resting state, a tested object needs to be kept quiet and looks at a fixation point on a screen for four minutes; in the task state, 3.25J of laser stimulation was applied to the left hand of the test for a total of 30 trials. In the resting and task state, the subject was applied with 2mA of transcranial direct current stimulation and simultaneously recorded brain electrical signals.
And (S2) preprocessing the acquired electroencephalogram signals to obtain preprocessed electroencephalogram signals.
Firstly, because wide-band and global signal distortion is caused in the rising and falling stages of tDCS current, the data in the rising and falling stages are subjected to zero setting operation; and secondly, after zero setting processing, carrying out interpolation bad-leading and re-reference operation on the data. Let the processed EEG signal matrix be x (t) = [ x ] 1 (t),x 2 (t),......x n (t)] T Wherein T ∈ R is a time point, n is the number of electroencephalogram signal channels, and T is the transpose of the matrix.
And (S3) extracting noise components of the preprocessed electroencephalogram signals by adopting an independent component analysis algorithm, analyzing the characteristics of the extracted noise components, and identifying specific noise components caused by transcranial electrical stimulation.
Specifically, [ S3.1 ] noise component extraction is performed on the signal matrix x (t) after the preliminary preprocessing by using an independent component analysis algorithm. An Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm can solve an independent source signal s (t) forming an electroencephalogram observation signal (x (t) = A · s (t)), and a reduction matrix W = A -1 Assuming that n sources contribute to the observed values of n electroencephalograms, the reduction matrix W belongs to R n×n For an n-dimensional square matrix, remolding a source signal matrix s (t) by solving a reduction matrix W through an independent component analysis algorithm; (S3.2) by multiplying the weight of the electroencephalogram observation signals x (t) of the n channels by the linear mapping of each time point: s (t) = W · x (t), and finally a matrix s (t) = [ s ] composed of n source components is obtained 1 (t),s 2 (t),......s n (t)] T Where n is the number of components and T is the transpose of the matrix.
And (S4) according to the characteristics of the noise components extracted in the step (S3), performing band-pass filtering on the electroencephalogram signals, and removing corresponding noise components.
As shown in fig. 4, the time domain signal, the frequency spectrum and the weight values of the weight matrix are visualized for each reconstructed independent component, and the independent components representing the noise characteristics in the cathodal and anodal tDCS stimuli are identified. As can be seen from fig. 4, the most significant noise generated to the electroencephalogram signal during the tDCS stimulation with different polarities is a DC-offset component below 0.5Hz, the weight value is the largest at the stimulation site, and the spatial distribution decreases from the stimulation site to the surrounding electrodes. Secondly, the second component causing the pollution of the brain electrical signals is a DC-drift component generated by maintaining a constant current by the tDCS stimulator, the frequency spectrum amplitude of the DC-drift component is maximum near 1Hz, and the DC-drift component is rapidly attenuated along with the increase of the frequency.
Based on the analysis of the extracted noise characteristics, the invention develops a denoising method and parameter setting different from the traditional electroencephalogram research. Firstly, according to the extracted noise characteristics, carrying out band-pass filtering operation of 2Hz-30Hz on the electroencephalogram signals, aiming at removing two typical noise signals, (1) noise component 1 (DC-offset) which is characterized by high amplitude of 0-0.5Hz frequency band; (2) The peak amplitude is centered at 1Hz and the amplitude decays rapidly with increasing frequency, noise component 2 (DC-drift).
And (S5) respectively carrying out independent component analysis on the filtered electroencephalogram signals, and removing residual noise components in the electroencephalogram signals to obtain the denoised electroencephalogram signals.
Aiming at the components still remained in the noise component 2, the method for removing the residual noise components in the electroencephalogram signal in the step (S5) is as follows:
(S5.1) carrying out independent component analysis on the filtered electroencephalogram signals to obtain a reconstructed source signal matrix S (t) = [ S ] 1 (t),s 2 (t),......s n (t)] T And restoring the matrix W;
s5.2, zeroing j component matrixes of noise characteristics contained in electroencephalogram signals to obtain a source signal matrix S with noise removed n-j (t)=[s 1 (t),s 2 (t),......s n-j (t)] T
(S5.3) multiplying the source signal matrix from which the independent component is removed by an inverse W of a restoration matrix -1 Obtaining the EEG signal X without noise component (pure) =W -1 S n-j (t)。
As shown in FIGS. 5-1 to 5-3, the task state electroencephalogram signal denoising process and effect diagram are collected in the transcranial direct current stimulation process. The left side is used for carrying out denoising treatment on the electroencephalogram signals collected in the process of stimulating the anode tDCS; the right side is the cathode. As can be seen from the figure, the change of the amplitude of the ERP signal after filtering and ICA component elimination under two stimulation conditions is smoother along with the time, and the signal-to-noise ratio is further improved.
As shown in FIGS. 6-1 to 6-6, the method is a denoising process and effect diagram of resting state electroencephalogram signals acquired in the transcranial direct current stimulation process. FIG. 6-1 is the data after preliminary pretreatment of the anode in a resting state; FIG. 6-2 is data after 2-30Hz filtering at the anode; FIG. 6-3 is the denoised data of the anode independent component analysis algorithm; FIGS. 6-4 are data after preliminary pretreatment of the cathode at rest; FIGS. 6-5 are data from 2-30Hz cathode filters; FIGS. 6-6 are data after denoising by the cathode independent component analysis algorithm (ICA). Each subgraph includes a topological map of the head of the magnitudes of the top delta, theta, alpha, and theta rhythms; the average frequency amplitude spectra of each of the 5 electrodes around the stimulation site on the left side of the middle and lower part; and the average frequency amplitude spectrum of each of the stimulation electrode contralateral sides to the right of the middle and lower portions. As can be seen from the figure, the data after the preliminary pretreatment still retains the DC-offset noise with low frequency and high amplitude of 0-0.5 Hz; after 2-30Hz filtering, the DC-offset component is removed; further, the DC-drift noise in the electroencephalogram signal is removed through the identification and removal of the residual noise component by an independent component analysis algorithm (ICA). The denoised EEG signal retains a typical alpha component under a resting eye-open state.
In addition, as shown in fig. 7, the present invention also provides a system for removing noise of an electroencephalogram signal under transcranial direct current stimulation, comprising: a transcranial direct current stimulator, an electroencephalogram signal acquisition device and a signal analysis and processing device.

the signal analysis and processing device comprises a signal preprocessing module, a noise extraction module and a noise removal module.
The signal preprocessing module receives the acquired electroencephalogram signals and preprocesses the electroencephalogram signals; the noise extraction module receives the electroencephalogram signal preprocessed by the signal preprocessing module, analyzes and extracts typical noise components contained in the electroencephalogram signal; the noise removing module comprises a band-pass filter and an independent component analysis denoising module, according to the characteristics of the extracted noise signal, firstly the band-pass filter with a specific frequency band is adopted to remove typical noise components, secondly the independent component analysis denoising module is adopted to further remove the residual noise components processed by the band-pass filter, the denoised electroencephalogram signal is obtained, and a pure electroencephalogram signal waveform is presented for a user to check.
