The Electroencephalogram (EEG) and evoked potential (EP) t;ave widely been used for study of brain functions. The EEG and EP signals acquired from multi-channel electrodes placed on the head surface are often interfered by other relatively large physiological signals such as electromyogram (EMG) or electroculogram (EOG). Since these artifact-affected EEG signals degrade EEG mapping, the removal of the artifact-affected EEGs is one of the key elements in neuro-functional mapping. Conventionally this task has been carried out by human experts spending lots of examination time. In this paper a neural-network based classification is proposed to replace or to reduce human expert's efforts and time. From experiments, the neural-network based classification performs as good as human experts : variation of decisions between the neural network and human expert appears even smaller than that between human experts.
