An analysis of signal processing algorithm performance for cortical intrinsic optical signal imaging and strategies for algorithm selection

Abstract Intrinsic Optical Signal (IOS) imaging has been used extensively to examine activity-related changes within the cerebral cortex. A significant technical challenge with IOS imaging is the presence of large noise, artefact components and periodic interference. Signal processing is therefore i...
