Biosignals can be viewed as mixtures measuring particular physiological events, and blind source separation (BSS) aims to extract underlying source signals from mixtures. This paper proposes a self-supervised multi-encoder autoencoder (MEAE) to separate heartbeat-related source signals from photoplethysmogram (PPG), enhancing heart rate (HR) detection in noisy PPG data. The MEAE is trained on PPG signals from a large open polysomnography database without any pre-processing or data selection. The trained network is then applied to a noisy PPG dataset collected during the daily activities of nine subjects. The extracted heartbeat-related source signal significantly improves HR detection as compared to the original PPG. The absence of pre-processing and the self-supervised nature of the proposed method, combined with its strong performance, highlight the potential of MEAE for BSS in biosignal analysis.

A multi-encoder autoencoder is introduced by researchers from Mellowing Factory Co. Ltd. for blind source separation of single-channel, non-linear, and underdetermined mixtures, employing a fully self-supervised approach with novel regularization. The method effectively disentangles sources in a synthetic dataset and extracts respiration from raw ECG and PPG signals, achieving respiratory rate Mean Absolute Errors (MAEs) of 1.50-1.73 breaths/min, which is superior to established heuristic techniques.
