An ICA to identify a large number of candidate correlation patterns is carried out based on a time series of image data. The large number of candidate correlation patterns includes a large number of neurophysical events, as well as false patterns owing to noise. The neurophysical events as well as the false patterns are then separated, for example on the basis of a metric, which indicates an intensity of the candidate correlation patterns in a section of the brain, or by a computer-implemented classifier. Techniques of this kind can be used in conjunction with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting and correcting for patient respiration within a medical magnetic localization system. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed for detecting patient respiration in a magnetic field for localization of an intravascular catheter. The system including a magnetic field generator and a magnetic reference sensor. The magnetic field generator generates the magnetic field for localization of the catheter within the patient. The magnetic reference sensor includes sensor coils that have a longitudinal axis, sense the magnetic field aligned with the orientation of the sensor coil, and output an electrical signal indicative of the sensed magnetic field. The magnetic reference sensor is positioned within the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator, and the longitudinal axis of each sensor coil is non-parallel relative to an axis of the generated magnetic field.

The use of a magnetic particle based PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) disk, when read by magnetic sensor(s), as a positional encoder is described. It is often necessary to include a linear or rotary encoder within a device for tracking motor movements, or to enable a closed-loop control algorithm on the motor system. These randomly dispersed magnetic particle disks can be used as a positional encoder, where the speed of movement and the direction of movement may be monitored.
