  • Independent component analysis processor
    Patent number: 9031816
    Abstract: An independent component analysis processor conducts real-time operations of multiple-channel parallel signals. The processor includes an input buffering unit for receiving and storing multiple-channel parallel signals, a mean/covariance unit, a centering unit for removing direct current components in the multiple channels parallel signals, a whitening unit for performing a whitening process, and an ICA training unit and an ICA calculating unit that perform an independent component analysis process, to calculate independent components in the multiple-channel parallel signals and separate artifacts from the signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: National Chiao Tung University
    Inventors: Chiu-Kuo Chen, Wai-Chi Fang, Ericson Chua, Chih-Chung Fu, Shao-Yen Tseng
