EEG Artifact Removal System for Depression Using a Hybrid Denoising Approach

Introduction: Several computer-aided diagnosis systems for depression are suggested for use by clinicians to authorize the diagnosis. EEG may be used as an objective analysis tool for identifying depression in the initial stage to avoid it from reaching a severe and permanent state. However, artifac...
