ICA

I'm teaching ICA in the comp-neuro student course and I'm studying up on it today. I'm just going to try and make an outline of the important points to cover. This tutorial is really good, and will serve as the basis.

Here are the main points I want to cover:

  1. Motivation
    1. The cocktail party problem
    2. Definition -- matrices and data
    3. Ambiguities
    4. Illustration
  2. What is independence?
    1. Central limit theorm
    2. Nongaussian is independent
    3. Estimators of nongaussianity
      1. Kurtosis
      2. Negentropy
      3. Others
  3. Preprocessing for ICA
    1. Centering
    2. Whitening
    3. PCA
  4. Fast ICA
  5. Neuroscience Applications
    1. EEG
    2. Imaging
