Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia diagnosed in clinical practice, identified by an uncoordinated and irregular atrial depolarization. However, its electrophysiological mechanisms are still not clearly understood, increasing the intensive clinical research into this challenging cardiac condition in the past few...

A precise analysis of the atrial activity (AA) signal in electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings is necessary for a better understanding of the mechanisms behind atrial fibrillation (AF). Blind source separation (BSS) techniques have proven useful in extracting the AA source from ECG recordings. However, the automated selection of the AA source...
