Recursive MUSIC (R-MUSIC) [53] automates the MUSIC search, extracting the location of the sources through a recursive use of subspace projection. It uses a modified source representation, referred to as the spatio-temporal independent topographies (IT) model, where a source is defined as one or more nonrotating dipoles with a single time course rather than an individual current dipole. It recursively builds up the IT model and compares this full model to the signal subspace.
