Chapter 8: EEG Artifacts, Their Detection, Influence, and Removal

This chapter goes over EEG artifacts, what they look like in data and the problems they cause, and how to remove them (and ramifications of trying to do so). Noise generally stems from the physical (eye movements, blinks, amplifier saturation), but also the cognitive (irrelevant processing). While this chapter discusses how to attenuate a lot of it, it is stressed that EEG ultimately is not a noise free environment.
