independent Component Analysis: algorithms and applications

Motivation

Imagine a room where two people are speaking at the same time and two microphones are used to record the speech signals. Denoting the speech signals by [math]\displaystyle{ s_1(t) \, }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ s_2(t)\, }[/math] and the recorded signals by [math]\displaystyle{ x_1(t) \, }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ x_2(t) }[/math], we have the follow linear equation:
