A signal processing apparatus includes: a learning processing unit that finds a separating matrix for separating mixed signals in which outputs from a plurality of sound sources are mixed, by a learning process that applies ICA (Independent Component Analysis) to observed signals including the mixed signals; a separation processing unit that applies the separating matrix to the observed signals to separate the mixed signals and generate separated signals corresponding to each of the sound sources; and a sound source direction estimating unit that computes a sound source direction of each of the generated separated signals. The sound source direction estimating unit calculates cross-covariance matrices between the observed signals and the separated signals in corresponding time segments in time-frequency domain, computes phase differences between elements of the cross-covariance matrices, and computes a sound source direction corresponding to each of the separated signals by applying the computed phase differences.
