Comparison of the ICA and PCA methods in correction of EEG signal artefacts

The paper presents application and comparison of two methods based on the blind source separation problem: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) as well as combining these methods. Both methods might be applied in the task of eliminating artefacts from the electroencephalography (EEG) signal. Such artefacts might cover eye-blinks, muscle artefacts etc. The case study described in the paper presents the results of correcting various kinds of artefacts using these methods and its comparison to manual artefact detection performed by an expert.
