Biomedical signals from many sources including hearts,
brains and endocrine systems pose a challenge to
researchers who may have to separate weak signals
arriving from multiple sources contaminated with
artifacts and noise. The analysis of these signals is
important both for research and for medical diagnosis and
treatment. The applications of Independent Component
Analysis (ICA) to biomedical signals is a rapidly
expanding area of research and many groups are now
actively engaged in exploring the potential of blind signal
separation and signal deconvolution for revealing new
information about the brain and body. In this review, we
survey some recent applications of ICA to a variety of
electrical, magnetic and hemodynamic measurements,
drawing primarily from our own research.
