Abstract:
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is becoming a popular tool for decomposition of data in the field of signal and image processing like Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In this study we are relaxing the requirement of non-negative data for NMF making the update equations simple and thus making it Matrix Factorization (MF) and implementing it on simulated Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data for detection of neuronal activity. Simulated fMRI data is processed to detect the hidden sources of task related activity, functional activity and artifacts using the proposed MF technique. Performance of the proposed scheme is better than NMF in terms of average correlation results of the extracted sources/time courses with the actual sources/time courses. Similarly proposed MF is computationally cost effective and converges fast as compared to NMF. Also extracted sources obey no permutation which is the limitation of ICA and NMF.

Key words:  Blind source separation, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), matrix factorization, medical image processin, , ,
