The document discusses different algorithms for independent component analysis (ICA) for separating multivariate signals into additive subcomponents. It compares the Infomax, FastICA, JADE, and EVD algorithms in terms of their accuracy for spatial maps and time courses, required parameters and settings, and execution time. The document also reviews the FSL and GIFT tools for ICA and compares their user friendliness and execution times. It concludes by introducing the FastBRaIn tool for fast ICA analysis.
