Abstract<br />

Real-world data sets such as record<strong>in</strong>gs from functional magnetic resonance imag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

often possess both spatial and temporal structure. Here, we propose an algorithm<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g such spatiotemporal <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong>to the analysis, and reduce the problem<br />

to the jo<strong>in</strong>t approximate diagonalization of a set of autocorrelation matrices.<br />

We demonstrate the feasibility of the algorithm by apply<strong>in</strong>g it to functional MRI<br />

analysis, where previous approaches are outperformed considerably.<br />

Key words: bl<strong>in</strong>d source separation, <strong>in</strong>dependent component analysis, functional<br />

magnetic resonance imag<strong>in</strong>g, autodecorrelation<br />

1 Introduction<br />

Bl<strong>in</strong>d source separation (BSS) describes the task of recover<strong>in</strong>g an unknown<br />

mix<strong>in</strong>g process and underly<strong>in</strong>g sources of an observed data set. It has numerous<br />

applications <strong>in</strong> fields rang<strong>in</strong>g from signal and image process<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />

separation of speech and radar signals to f<strong>in</strong>ancial data analysis. Many BSS algorithms<br />

assume either <strong>in</strong>dependence (<strong>in</strong>dependent component analysis, ICA)<br />

or diagonal autocorrelations of the sources [1,2]. Here we extend BSS algorithms<br />

based on time-decorrelation [3–8]. They rely on the fact that the data<br />
