Analysis of Optical Imaging Data Using Weak Models and ICA
This chapter will present techniques for the recovery of component spatial and temporal modes from spatio-temporal data sets, in particular from medical imaging data such as that obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and optical imaging optical imaging (OI) of brain activity. These techniques were developed in order to help address some current issues involving the nature of the haemodynamic response to neural activity (for more details of this research and further references see [7]).
