What is ICA

Any biomedical signal has the specialty in terms of the remoteness and nature of their source as an advantage over other natural signals. The analysis of biomedical signal plays a significant role in medical, and to be exact cardiological decision making, provided, the subject information is accurate and reliable. Normally experienced and trained medical practitioners, are known to study and know them better, but in this age of technology computerized expert system are better for long term continuous monitoring and automatic decision making. This led to evolution of biomedical engineering as a separate wing where parts of engineering under automatic signal processing and analysis studies are done. ECG being the most vital physiological signal, its acquisition technique, noise and artifacts elimination methodologies are discussed in this chapter. A brief description on ECG and its usage as biometric and analysis of Atrial Fibrillation is presented.
