""" ===================================== Blind source separation using FastICA ===================================== An example of estimating sources from noisy data. :ref:`ICA` is used to estimate sources given noisy measurements. Imagine 3 instruments playing simultaneously and 3 microphones recording the mixed signals. ICA is used to recover the sources ie. what is played by each instrument. Importantly, PCA fails at recovering our `instruments` since the related signals reflect non-Gaussian processes.
