sure -- sounds interesting. I am a bit wary about the new numerical
methods though which were introduced without proper independent (of
specific application) analysis and comparison to other existing ones
(e.g. to FastICA they reference). But I guess it would be only of
benefit (at least for replication ;)) to include this one in PyMVPA. I
guess it would need to come as a Mapper akin to SVDMapper

I guess we should just use scipy/stats/stats.py:kendaltau implementation
and indeed expose it in RSA... should just rank order data first, if I got it
right. correct?

Sure! e.g. you could start with a PR for that ICA mapper. The only
thing is that we would need tests to verify its correct (according to
some assumptions ;) ) operation

Thank you for seeking contribution to it!
