Real-Time Low-Latency Estimation of the Blinking and EOG Signals

Electrooculography biosignals (EOG) are very important for the eye orientation and eyelid movements (blinking) estimation. There are many applications of the EOG signals. Most important applications are related to the medical applications [Duchowski (2007)]. The EOG signal is used for the analysis of eye movement in the selected medical test of the eye related health problems. It is also important for the sleep analysis. The EOG signal has much higher level than the important EEG (electroencephalography) signals and should be removed from the EEG measurements [Duchowski (2007); Shayegh & Erfanian (2006)]. The reduction of the EOG artifacts from EEG is considered by many researchers and it is also important for the practical applications of the EEG–based Human–Computer Interfaces.
