Blind Source Separation intends to report the new results of the efforts on the study of Blind Source Separation (BSS). The book collects novel research ideas and some training in BSS, independent component analysis (ICA), artificial intelligence and signal processing applications. Furthermore, the research results previously scattered in many journals and conferences worldwide are methodically edited and presented in a unified form. The book is likely to be of interest to university researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students in computer science and electronics who wish to learn the core principles, methods, algorithms and applications of BSS.

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a signal-processing method to extract independent sources given only observed data that are mixtures of the unknown sources. Recently, blind source separation by ICA has received considerable attention because of its potential signal-processing applications such as speech enhancement systems, telecommunications, medical signal-processing and several data mining issues. This book presents theories and applications of ICA and includes invaluable examples of several real-world applications. Based on theories in probabilistic models, information theory and artificial neural networks, several unsupervised learning algorithms are presented that can perform ICA. The seemingly different theories such as infomax, maximum likelihood estimation, negentropy maximization, nonlinear PCA, Bussgang algorithm and cumulant-based methods are reviewed and put in an information theoretic framework to unify several lines of ICA research. An algorithm is presented that is able to blindly separate mixed signals with sub- and super-Gaussian source distributions. The learning algorithms can be extended to filter systems, which allows the separation of voices recorded in a real environment (cocktail party problem). The ICA algorithm has been successfully applied to many biomedical signal-processing problems such as the analysis of electroencephalographic data and functional magnetic resonance imaging data. ICA applied to images results in independent image components that can be used as features in pattern classification problems such as visual lip-reading and face recognition systems. The ICA algorithm can furthermore be embedded in an expectation maximization framework for unsupervised classification. Independent Component Analysis: Theory and Applications is the first book to successfully address this fairly new and generally applicable method of blind source separation. It is essential reading for researchers and practitioners with an interest in ICA.
A tutorial-style introduction to a class of methods for extracting independent signals from a mixture of signals originating from different physical sources; includes MatLab computer code examples. Independent component analysis (ICA) is becoming an increasingly important tool for analyzing large data sets. In essence, ICA separates an observed set of signal mixtures into a set of statistically independent component signals, or source signals. In so doing, this powerful method can extract the relatively small amount of useful information typically found in large data sets. The applications for ICA range from speech processing, brain imaging, and electrical brain signals to telecommunications and stock predictions. In Independent Component Analysis, Jim Stone presents the essentials of ICA and related techniques (projection pursuit and complexity pursuit) in a tutorial style, using intuitive examples described in simple geometric terms. The treatment fills the need for a basic primer on ICA that can be used by readers of varying levels of mathematical sophistication, including engineers, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists who need to know the essentials of this evolving method. An overview establishes the strategy implicit in ICA in terms of its essentially physical underpinnings and describes how ICA is based on the key observations that different physical processes generate outputs that are statistically independent of each other. The book then describes what Stone calls "the mathematical nuts and bolts" of how ICA works. Presenting only essential mathematical proofs, Stone guides the reader through an exploration of the fundamental characteristics of ICA. Topics covered include the geometry of mixing and unmixing; methods for blind source separation; and applications of ICA, including voice mixtures, EEG, fMRI, and fetal heart monitoring. The appendixes provide a vector matrix tutorial, plus basic demonstration computer code that allows the reader to see how each mathematical method described in the text translates into working Matlab computer code.
In many situations found both in Nature and in human-built systems, a set of mixed signals is observed (frequently also with noise), and it is of great scientific and technological relevance to be able to isolate or separate them so that the information in each of the signals can be utilized. Blind source separation (BSS) research is one of the more interesting emerging fields now a days in the field of signal processing. It deals with the algorithms that allow the recovery of the original sources from a set of mixtures only. The adjective "blind" is applied because the purpose is to estimate the original sources without any a priori knowledge about either the sources or the mixing system. Most of the models employed in BSS assume the hypothesis about the independence of the original sources. Under this hypothesis, a BSS problem can be considered as a particular case of independent component analysis(ICA), a linear transformation technique that, starting from a multivariate representation of the data, minimizes the statistical dependence between the components of the representation. It can be claimed that most of the advances in ICA have been motivated by the search for solutions to the BSS problem and, the other way around, advances in ICA have been immediately applied to BSS. ICA and BSS algorithms start from a mixture model, whose parameters are estimated from the observed mixtures. Separation is achieved by applying the inverse mixture model to the observed signals(separating or unmixing model). Mixturem- els usually fall into three broad categories: instantaneous linear models, convolutive models and nonlinear models, the?rstone being the simplest but, in general, not near realistic applications. The development and test of the algorithms can be accomplished through synthetic data or with real-world data. Obviously, the most important aim(and most difficult) is the separation of real-world mixtures. BSS and ICA have strong relations also, apart from signal processing, with other fields such as statistics and artificial neural networks. As long as we can find a system that emits signals propagated through a mean, andthosesignalsarereceivedbyasetofsensorsandthereisaninterestinrecovering the original sources, we have a potential field of application for BSS and ICA. Inside that wide range of applications we can find, for instance: noise reduction applications, biomedical applications, audio systems, telecommunications, and many others. This volume comes out just 20 years after the first contributions in ICA and BSS 1 appeared . Therein after, the number of research groups working in ICA and BSS has been constantly growing, so that nowadays we can estimate that far more than 100 groups are researching in these fields. As proof of the recognition among the scientific community of ICA and BSS developments there have been numerous special sessions and special issues in several well- 1 J. Herault, B.
