A major challenge for neuroscience is to map accurately the spatiotemporal patterns of activity of the large neuronal populations that are believed to underlie computing in the human brain. To study a specific example, we selected the mismatch negativity (MMN) brain wave (an event-related potential, ERP) because it gives an electrophysiological index of a “primitive intelligence” capable of detecting...
Second-order blind identification (SOBI) is a blind source separation (BSS) algorithm that can be used to decompose mixtures of signals into a set of components or putative recovered sources. Previously, SOBI, as well as other BSS algorithms, has been applied to magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) data. These BSS algorithms have been shown to recover components that appear...
A widely used tool for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data analysis, statistical parametric mapping (SPM), is based on the general linear model (GLM). SPM therefore requires a priori knowledge or specific assumptions about the time courses contributing to signal changes. In contradistinction, independent component analysis (ICA) is a data-driven method based on the assumption that the...
