Independent Component Analysis and Signal Separation is one of the most exciting current areas of research in statistical signal processing and unsupervised machine learning. The area has received attention from several research communities including those of machine learning, neural networks, statistical signal processing and Bayesian modeling. Independent Component Analysis and Signal Separation has applications at the intersection of many science and engineering disciplines concerned with understanding and extracting useful information from data as diverse as neuronal activity and brain images, bioinformatics, communications, the world wide web, audio, video, sensor signals, or time series.

Previous conferences in this series were held in Aussois (France), Helsinki (Finland), San Diego (CA, USA), Nara (Japan), Granada (Spain), Charleston (SC, USA), and London (UK). This year, the 8th International Conference on Independent Component Analysis and Signal Separation, ICA 2009, will be held in Paraty, Brazil.

The meeting will feature keynote addresses by leading researchers, as well as invited and contributed papers. ICA 2009 will also feature a special session on the first community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/).

The proceedings of ICA 2009 will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series (LNCS) and will be available in printed version and electronically via LNCS Online.
