초록

The automatic detection of artifacts and vigilance level as for pre-processing of the automatic EEG interpretation are discussed. The equations for detecting artifacts and vigilance level were determined such that they would conform to the procedures that an EEGer (one of the authors, H.S.) usually adopts for visual inspection of the actual EEG record. The automatic EEG interpretation was found to be improved by the newly developed pre-processing method even will artifact contamination or in drowsy condition of the subjects.
