 .. _ex-ica-comp:
 
-===========================================
-Compare the different ICA algorithms in MNE
-===========================================
+===========================================================
+Compare the performance of different ICA algorithms in MNE
+===========================================================
 
-Different ICA algorithms are fit to raw MEG data, and the corresponding maps
-are displayed.
+This example compares various ICA algorithms (FastICA, Picard, Infomax,
+Extended Infomax) on the same raw MEG data. For each algorithm:
 
+- The ICA fit time (speed) is shown
+- All components (up to 20) are visualized
+- The EOG-related component from each method is detected and compared
+- Comparison on clean vs noisy data is done
+
+Note: In typical preprocessing, only one ICA algorithm is used.
+This example is for educational purposes.
