Although very similar in shape and scalp topography, vertex potentials are believed to reflect a combination of
modality-specific and multimodal brain activities.
Vertex potential
unique for a given sensory modality
Modality-specific
common to all sensory modalities

What is the respective contribution of modality-specific and amodal brain activity to these recorded ERPs?
Do we have methods to address this question?

The signals recorded at sensors are modelled as a linear mixture of the source signals by an unknown mixing matrix.
Can this method be addressed using a blind source separation algorithm?

note that u ≠ s because of scaling and permutations
Blind source separation aims at finding an unmixing matrix that would recover the original source signals
Can this method be addressed using a blind source separation algorithm?

Probabilistic ICA avoids the problem of overfitting by constraining ICA to an objective estimate of the dimensionality of the data, obtained through Bayesian analysis.

underfitting discards valuable information and leads to suboptimal signal extractionThe number of estimated ICs is equal to the number of sensors

Here, we applied Probabilistic ICA to somatosensory, auditory and visual ERPs
... to solve the cocktail party occurring inside our brain ...

In this waveform, amodal and modality-specific responses will have distinct time courses.Provided that amodal and modality-specific responses project differently onto the scalp sensors,
PICA should separate amodal and modality-specific responses in distinct ICs
For each subject, auditory, somatosensory and visual ERPs were concatenated into a single waveform
ICs contributing to the time courses of all four ERPs were categorized as amodal.ICs contributing to the time course of a specific ERP were categorized as modality-specific.
ICs contributing to the time course of a nociceptive and tactile somatosensory ERPs were categorized as somatosensory-specific.

On average, amodal activity explained : - 61% of the auditory ERP waveform- 66% of the non-nociceptive somatosensory ERP waveform- 76% of the nociceptive somatosensory ERP waveform- 55% of the visual ERP waveform

Auditory-specific activity explained 32% of the auditory ERP waveform
Somatosensory-specific activity explained - 34% of the non-nociceptive somatosensory ERP waveform- 25% of the nociceptive somatosensory ERP waveform
Visual-specific activity explained 36% of the visual ERP waveform

Conclusion
Amodal brain responses represent the bulk of auditory, somatosensory and visual vertex potentials.
Modality-specific brain responses represent only a fraction of the early part of auditory, somatosensory and visual vertex potentials.
Probabilistic ICA can be used to separate sensory ERPs into its amodal and modality-specific constituents
