This paper addresses the independence testing of stationary time series. We develop a resampling test based on the Kankainen–Ushakov test of total independence. The resampling test, contrary to the original test, can be also applied to the data with a time-structure. The simulation studies demonstrate the good performance of the proposed test even with strongly autocorrelated time series. As an application, we consider biomedical signal processing and independent component analysis (ICA). The independence test can be used as a performance criterion for ICA algorithms. The practical example of performance evaluation deals with the ICA of electroencephalogram (EEG) data.
