Determination of the Inaccuracies of Calculated EEG Indices

Sensors (Basel). 2020 Oct 8;20(19):5715. doi: 10.3390/s20195715.

Abstract

The data obtained as a result of an EEG measurement are burdened with inaccuracies related to the measurement process itself and the need to remove recorded disturbances. The article presents an example of how to calculate the Approach-Withdraw Index (EEG-AW) and Memorization Index (MI) indices in such a way that their inaccuracy resulting from the removal of artifacts can be periodically calculated. This inaccuracy is expressed in terms of standard deviation. This allows you to determine the reliability of the obtained conclusions in the context of examining elements in a 2D computer game created in the Unity engine.

Keywords: EEG; ICA; standard deviation.
