Abstract

Electrooculography (EOG) systems could be used for Human Computer Interaction but measurements with minimal number of electrodes and appropriate signals processing algorithms for the separation of EOG and blinking signals are required. Median filter with a carefully selected mask size could be used for the initialization of the evolution–based algorithm, which is used for the estimation and separation of EOG and blinking signals.
