title: Complex tensor based blind source separation of EEG for tracking P300 subcomponents.
abstract: Complex tensor factorisation of correlated brain sources is addressed in this paper. The electrical brain responses due to motory, sensory, or cognitive stimuli, i.e. event related potentials (ERPs), particularly P300, have been used for cognitive information processing. P300 has two subcomponents, P3a and P3b which are correlated and therefore, the traditional blind source separation approaches cannot solve the problem. In this work, a complex-valued tensor factorisation of electroencephalography (EEG) signals is introduced with the aim of separating P300 subcomponents. The proposed method uses complex-valued statistics to exploit the data correlation. In this way, the variations of P3a and p3b can be tracked for the assessment of the brain state. The results of this work will be compared with those of spatial principal component analysis (SPCA) method.
