Scalp EEG has been used as a clinical tool for the di- agnosis and treatment of brain diseases. A probabilis- tic ICA algorithm modi ed by a kernel-based source density estimation is studied to separate EEG signals from tumor patients into spatially independent source signals. A statistical method to automatically identify artifactual and tumor related ICA components is also presented.
