Blind extraction of improper quaternion sources

Blind extraction of quaternion-valued latent sources is addressed based on their local temporal properties. The extraction criterion is based on the minimum mean square widely linear prediction error, thus allowing for the extraction of both proper and improper quaternion sources. The use of the widely linear adaptive predictor is justified by the relationship between the mean square prediction error and the crosscorrelation and cross-pseudocorrelations of the source signals. Simulations on benchmark improper quaternion sources together with a real-world example of EEG artifact removal illustrate the usefulness of the proposed methodology.
