In this paper we present a natural gradient approach to blind deconvolution of dynamical systems, described by the state space model. First we formulate blind deconvolution problem in the framework of the state space model. The blind deconvolution is fulfilled in two stages: internal repre­ sentation and output separation, which give a new insight into blind deconvolution in the state­space framework. The cost function for blind deconvolution is discussed and adap­ tive natural gradient learning algorithms for updating ex­ ternal parameters are developed by minimizing a certain cost function, which is derived from mutual information of output signals. Stability of the algorithm is also given. Fi­ nally computer simulations are given to show the validity and effectiveness of the state­space approach.
