  4. Abstract:
  5. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) can be used to decompose functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data into a set of statistically independent images which are likely to be the sources of fMRI data. After applying ICA, a set of independent components are produced, and then, a "meaningful" subset from these components must be identified, because a large majority of components are non-interesting. So, interpreting the components is an important and also difficult task. In this paper, we propose a criterion based on the entropy of time courses to automatically select the components of interest. This method does not require to know the stimulus pattern of the experiment
