Physiological signals are denoised. In accordance with an example embodiment, a denoised physiological signal is generated from an input signal including a desired physiological signal and noise. The input signal is decomposed from a first domain into subcomponents in a second domain. Target subcomponents of the input signal that are associated with the desired physiological signal are identified, based upon the spatial distribution of the subcomponents. A denoised physiological signal is constructed in the first domain from at least one of the identified target subcomponents.
