Abstract
This paper provides an analytical examination of the INFOMAX algorithm and establishes its effectiveness for blind signal separation using extensive simulation results. Results obtained show that the INFOMAX is not able to separate signal sources unless signal pre-processing is carried-out whereby the data to train the separating matrix is decorrelated. Further, results also show that if one uses the decorrelation pre-process alone it is able to effectively separate signal sources in many instances. Hence we conclude that the INFOMAX algorithm may not be a useful approach for signal separation.
