Introduction

Artifact subspace reconstruction (ASR) is an automated, online, component-based artifact removal method for removing transient or large-amplitude artifacts in multi-channel EEG recordings (Kothe & Jung, 2016). This repository provides a Python implementation of the standard ASR algorithm, similar to the original MATLAB implementation in EEGLab's clean_rawdata plugin. As of now, this repository only implements the standard version of the ASR algorithm. A valid version of the improved riemannian ASR (Blum et al., 2019) might be added in the future.

This implementation aims to follow the original ASR algorithm as close as possible. Using the according parameters, it should be perfectly equivalent to the original implementation, except for a few imprecisions introduced by different solvers implemented in Python and MATLAB, e.g. when calculating the eigenspace. However, this implementation is based on python_meegkit. For an alternative implementation check their repository.

Installation

You can install the latest ASRpy release using:

pip install asrpy

or install the current working version directly from GitHub, using:

pip install git+https://github.com/DiGyt/asrpy.git

Examples

ASRpy applies the Artifact Subspace Reconstruction method directly to MNE-Python's mne.io.Raw objects. It's usage should be as simple as:

import asrpy
asr = asrpy.ASR(sfreq=raw.info["sfreq"], cutoff=20)
asr.fit(raw)
raw = asr.transform(raw)

To get started, we recommend going through the example notebook. You can simply run them via your internet browser (on Google Colab's hosted runtime) by clicking the button below.
