  • Title: Minimum Overlap Component Analysis (MOCA) of EEG/MEG data for more than two sources.
    Author: Nolte G, Marzetti L, Valdes Sosa P.
    Journal: J Neurosci Methods; 2009 Sep 30; 183(1):72-6. PubMed ID: 19596027.
    Abstract:
    In many situations various methods to analyze EEG/MEG data result in subspaces of the sensor space spanned by potentials of a set of sources. We propose a general model free method to decompose such a subspace into contributions from distinct sources. This unique decomposition can be achieved by first finding the respective subspace in source space using a linear inverse method and then finding the linear transformation such that the source distributions are mutually orthogonal and have a minimum overlap. The corresponding algorithm is a generalization of the recently presented 'Minimum Overlap Component Analysis' (MOCA) to more than two sources. The computational cost is negligible and the algorithm is almost never trapped in local minima. The method is illustrated with results for alpha rhythm.
