Abstract
Independent Subspace Analysis (ISA) consists in separating sets (subspaces) of dependent sources, with different sets being
independent of each other. While a few algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem, they are all completely general in the sense that they do not make any assumptions on the intra-subspace dependency. In this paper, we address the ISA problem in the specific context of Separation of Synchronous Sources (SSS), emph{i.e.}, we aim to solve the ISA problem when the intra-subspace dependency is known to be perfect phase synchrony between all sources in that subspace. We
compare multiple algorithmic solutions for this problem, by analyzing their performance on an MEG-like dataset.
