How to do independent component analysis?
In signal processing, independent component analysis (ICA) is a computational method for separating a multivariate signal into additive subcomponents. This is done by assuming that at most one subcomponent is Gaussian and that the subcomponents are statistically independent from each other.
What is independent component analysis used for?
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a technique that allows the separation of a mixture of signals into their different sources, by assuming non Gaussian signal distribution (Yao et al., 2012). The ICA extracts the sources by exploring the independence underlying the measured data.
What is independent component analysis in EEG?
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is often used at the signal preprocessing stage in EEG analysis for its ability to filter out artifacts from the signal. The benefits of using ICA are the most apparent when multi-channel signal is recorded.
What is the measure of the independence of components?
Searching for independent components can be achieved by maximizing the non-Gaussianity of extracted signals [23]. Two measures are used for measuring the non-Gaussianity, namely, Kurtosis and negative entropy.
