Hi, I have been told that Tensor-ICA was not suited for paradigm-free group analysis, such as resting-state acquisitions. I was unable to understand the justification behind this. The claim was that for data acquired without paradigm on different subjects, the time series would be different, and thus the tensor model would not apply well. However, this puzzles me, as ICA is performed on principle components, and not raw time-series. Did I miss-understand the underlying reasons for avoiding Tensor-ICA on paradigm-less data? Is there a paper that would enlighten me?
