Temporal Decorrelation as Preprocessing for Linear and Post-nonlinear ICA
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a straightforward way to use temporal decorrelation as preprocessing in linear and post-nonlinear independent component analysis (ICA) with higher order statistics (HOS). Contrary to the separation methods using second order statistics (SOS), the proposed method can be applied when the sources have similar temporal structure. The main idea is that componentwise decorrelation increases nonGaussianity and therefore makes it easier to separate sources with HOS ICA. Conceptually, the non-Gaussianizing filtering matches very well with the Gaussianization used to cancel the post-nonlinear distortions. Examples demonstrating the consistent improvement in the separation quality are provided for the both linear and post-linear cases.

Improving the Performance of ICA Algorithm for fMRI Simulated Data Analysis Using Temporal and Spatial Filters in the Preprocessing Phase
Introduction: The accuracy of analyzing Functional MRI (fMRI) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. A common solution in for analyzing fMRI data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. Some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (GLM) have previously been evalua...

We propose an efficient method based on the concept of maximal correlation that reduces the post-nonlinear blind source separation problem (PNL BSS) to a linear BSS problem. For this we apply the Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) algorithm – a powerful technique from nonparametric statistics – to approximately invert the (post-)nonlinear functions. Interestingly, in the framework of the...

At the previous workshop (ICA2001) we proposed the ACETD method that reduces the post-nonlinear blind source separation problem (PNL BSS) to a linear BSS problem [18]. The method utilizes the Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) algorithm to approximately invert the (post-)nonlinear functions. In this contribution, we propose an alternative procedure called Gaussianizing transformation, wh...

We propose two methods that reduce the post-nonlinear blind source separation problem (PNLBSS) to a linear BSS problem. The first method is based on the concept of maximal correlation: we apply the alternating conditional expectation (ACE) algorithm—a powerful technique from nonparametric statistics—to approximately invert the componentwise nonlinear functions. The second method is a Gaussianiz...
