Chapter 20. Signal Process<strong>in</strong>g 86(3):603-623, 2006 287<br />

All methods, <strong>in</strong> spite of be<strong>in</strong>g based on very different approaches, gave similar<br />

results <strong>in</strong> the case of real data and decomposed them sufficiently well. We<br />

therefore suggest us<strong>in</strong>g sparse BSS as an important preprocess<strong>in</strong>g tool before<br />

apply<strong>in</strong>g the common template match<strong>in</strong>g technique. In terms of algorithm<br />

comparisons, ICA performed better than the other algorithms <strong>in</strong> the noiseless<br />

case, however sparse NMF∗ outperformed the other methods when noise was<br />

added and slightly so <strong>in</strong> the case of multiple real s-EMG record<strong>in</strong>gs. In later<br />

work concern<strong>in</strong>g methods of s-EMG decomposition, we therefore want to focus<br />

on properties and possible improvements of sparse NMF regard<strong>in</strong>g parameter<br />

choice (which level of sparseness to choose) and signal preprocess<strong>in</strong>g (<strong>in</strong> order<br />

to deal with positive signals). Preprocess<strong>in</strong>g to improve sparseness is currently<br />

studied. In order to be better able to compare methods, we also plan to apply<br />

the methods to artificial sources generated us<strong>in</strong>g other available s-EMG generators<br />

[47]. F<strong>in</strong>ally extensions to convolutive mix<strong>in</strong>g situations will have to<br />

be analyzed.<br />
