The famous FastICA algorithm has been widely used for blind signal separation. For every process, it only converges to an original source which has the maximum negentropy of the underlying signals. To ensure the first output is the desired signal, we incorporate a priori knowledge as a constraint into the FastICA algorithm to construct a robust blind source extraction algorithm. One can extract the desired signal if its normalized kurtosis is known to lie in a specific range, whereas other unwanted signals do not belong to this range. Experimental results on biomedical signals illustrate the validity and reliability of the proposed method.

One-unit independent component analysis with reference (ICA-R) is an efficient method capable of extracting a desired source signal by using reference signal. In this paper, a new fast one-unit ICA-R algorithm is derived by using kurtosis contrast function based on new constrained independent component analysis (cICA) theory. The proposed algorithm has lower computational complexity and accurate extraction. Experiments with synthetic signals demonstrate the efficacy and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

The proposed system is designed to monitor patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in family. This system mainly consists of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which contains several mobile sensor nodes and coordinator for acquisition of bio-signals, and an embedded computer (EC) for signal processing. The WSNs are responsible to acquire and transmit Electrocardiogram (ECG). The EC is to extract the AF signal using nonlinear blind source extraction (BSE) algorithm. The extracted AF signal is then utilized to intelligently judge whether or not AF is on, based on which the system will send alert information to related doctors via Ethernet. In the meantime, the extracted AF signal is displayed on liquid crystal display (LCD), and then is also sent to relate doctors. The system aims to be low-cost, low-power consumption, small size and long-distance (up to thirty meters) transmission, can be further integrated into other healthcare monitoring system, and is expected to have great potential in family monitoring.

Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) blind source extraction (BSE) algorithm based on temporal structure and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) in noise is proposed in this paper. After building the basic blind source separation (BSS) and BSE models for FECG, some preprocessing procedures based on the temporal structure of the FECG are constructed. Using DWT we can move the conventional time-domain signals to the wavelet-domain, and then the source number is detected and the robust noise reduction technique in FECG can be deduced too. According this preprocessing and second-order statistics (SOS), the proposed robust FECG extraction algorithm is derived.
