Blind source separation (BSS) is a powerful technique used in biomedical applications to extract hidden signals from recordings containing mixtures of multiple sources.
In biomedicine, BSS is particularly useful because medical signals are often contaminated by interference from other sources. For instance, an electroencephalogram (EEG) might pick up muscle activity or electrical noise from the environment along with brain activity. BSS can separate these unwanted signals, allowing for clearer analysis of the brain waves. BSS offers a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians to gain deeper insights into various biological processes. By removing unwanted noise and isolating specific signals of interest, BSS helps improve the accuracy and effectiveness of medical diagnosis and treatment.
