Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a well-known problem that arises in a large number of signal process- ing applications. In this paper we present a new ap- proach developed in the context of unsupervised learn- ing of Neural Networks (NN) and based on the In- fomax Principle for the separation of linear mixtures of sources with memory (convolutive mixtures). The problem is solved in the frequency domain, turning the convolution operation in the time domain into a multiplication in the frequency domain. The simula- tion results show the performance of the proposed al- gorithm for the separation of convolutive mixtures of white sources.
