However unlike its applications to functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI where the number of data samples is greater than the number of signal sources to be separated a dilemma encountered in MR image analysis is that the number of MR images is usually less than the number of signal sources to be blindly separated. As a result at least two or more brain tissue substances are forced into a single independent component IC in which none of these brain tissue substances can be discriminated from another. In addition since the ICA is .
