Active noise control for selective attention using blind source separation

In this paper, we propose a new active noise control system that can selectively cancel a particular noise signal from a mixture. Blind source separation of the desired signal from the other noise signals is performed by a dynamic recurrent neural network that is used as a preprocessor of the active noise control system. The active noise control system adaptively generates an anti-noise signal to remove only the separated noise signal. Computer experimental results show that the proposed scheme can be effective in the construction of a selective attention system
