Eye movement artifact nulling in EEGs by multichannel on-line EOG subtraction.

A multichannel nulling or subtraction technique for minimizing or eliminating vertical and/or horizontal eye movement artifact including blinks in EEG recordings is described. The circuit, which makes use of principles previously described by other workers, is intended to function integrally with contemporary electroencephalographs, and is relative simple in design and easy to implement.
