I think we will start seeing more phase data from multi-echo protocols in the future.
Running ICA on complex-valued data can apparently produce better components than magnitude-only ICA (e.g., Yu et al., 2015).
Additional Detail
This is distinct from #1022, which would apply complex ICA to magnitude-only data.
I think GIFT has an implementation of entropy bound minimization (EBM) ICA, which apparently works better than FastICA on complex-valued data. We could maybe translate it to Python.
