Independent Component Approach for the Analysis of ECG Signals

Automated analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) has got great attention for cardiac diagnosis in the recent years. This paper describes two different ECG analysis algorithms using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm. ICA refers to set of algorithms for blind source separation (BSS). The underlying principle is to separate N signals from a mix of different source contributions, into signals of independent components. The simulation is proposed to be done in MATLAB.
