Abstract
Evoked potentials are the brain's responses to incoming stimuli and are usually recorded under noisy circumstances. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, signal averaging has been widely applied to the recorded data, but an improved method is required. A method of EEG waveform prediction for the accurate recording of evoked potentials is proposed, and an electroencephalographic waveform predicted by using an EEG model and a nonlinear exponentially weighted least squares method, subtracting the predicted EEG waveform from the raw data and extracting the evoked waveform. By the use of this method, we have successfully predicted the EEG waveform and detected the evoked potential with only a small number of averages.Keywords
