International audienceApproximate Joint Diagonalization of a matrix set can solve the linear Blind Source Separation problem. If the data possesses a bilinear structure, for example a spatio-temporal structure, transformations such as tensor decomposition can be applied. In this paper we show how the linear and bilinear joint diagonalization can be applied for extracting sources according to a composite model where some of the sources have a linear structure and other a bilinear structure. This is the case of Event Related Potentials (ERPs). The proposed model achieves higher performance in term of shape and robustness for the estimation of ERP sources in a Brain Computer Interface experiment
