nASR: An End-to-End Trainable Neural Layer for Channel-Level EEG Artifact Subspace Reconstruction in Real-Time BCI
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are highly susceptible to artifacts, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio which makes extraction of meaningful neural information challenging. Artifact Subspace Reconstruction (ASR) is one of the most widely used artifact filtering techniques in EEG-based BCI applications, owing to its real-time applicability. ASR reconstructs artifact-free signals by operating in Principal Component (PC) space within sliding windows. However, ASR performance is critically sensitive to its threshold parameter - an incorrect threshold risks removing task-relevant neural features alongside artifacts. Furthermore, since PCs are linear combinations of all channels, subspace reconstruction in PC space may alter the underlying data structure, potentially discarding essential neural information. To address these limitations, we propose nASR, a novel end-to-end trainable Keras layer that jointly optimizes artifact rejection and downstream decoding. nASR introduces two trainable threshold parameters: K, which governs artifact detection in PC variance space, and L, which quantifies eigen-spread to pinpoint the primary artifact--contributing channels, enabling selective channel-level reconstruction that preserves clean channel information. An ablation study comprising five model variants (m01 - m05), evaluated across two subjects from the BCI Competition IV Dataset 1, confirms that nASR variants consistently outperform traditional ASR on test classification metrics, while achieving a 6-8x reduction in inference time, making nASR a strong candidate for real-time BCI applications demanding both low latency and high decoding performance.
