Abstract

It has become common for neurological studies to gather data from multiple modalities, since the modalities examine complementary aspects of neural activity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) data, in particular, enable the study of functional changes within the brain at different temporal and spatial scales; hence their fusion has received much attention. Joint independent component analysis (jICA) enables symmetric and fully multivariate fusion of these modalities and is thus one of the most widely used methods. In its application to jICA, Infomax has been the widely used, however the relative performance of Infomax is rarely shown on real neurological data, since the ground truth is not known. We propose the use of number of voxels in physically meaningful masks and statistical significance to assess algorithm performance of ICA for jICA on real data and show that entropy bound minimization (EBM) provides a more attractive solution for jICA of EEG and fMRI.
