dcaro_WAAF: Wavelet-Assisted Adaptative Filter.
This function removes Ocular Artifacts from EEG signals by creating a reference signal that contains only these artifacts using a soft treshold in low frequency levels of a wavelet decomposition. This reference signal is removed from the original EEG through an Adaptative Noise Cancelling algorithm based on Recursive Least Squares.
This function requires the Wavelet Toolbox.
