Preprocessing for Lessening the Influence of Eye Artifacts in EEG Analysis

We dealt with the problem of artifacts in EEG signals in relation to the usage of lengthy trials. Specifically, we considered eye artifacts found in EEG signals, their influence in the analysis of the data and alternatives to diminish their impact on later studies of brain activity on lengthy tasks....
