Comparison of spectral analysis methods for characterizing brain oscillations

Estimation of narrowband amplitude and phase from electrophysiology signals for phase-amplitude coupling studies: a comparison of methods

This work investigates how these two approaches perform in detecting the phenomenon of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), whereby the amplitude of a high- frequency signal is driven by the phase of a low-frequency signal.

Cycle-by-cycle analysis of neural oscillations

A new analysis framework is presented, complementary to Fourier analysis, that quantifies cycle-by-cycle time-domain features of neural oscillations, and is validated on simulated noisy signals with oscillatory bursts and outperforms conventional metrics.

Measuring the average power of neural oscillations

Extensions of common approaches that are better suited for the physiological reality of how neural oscillations often manifest: as nonstationary, high-power bursts, rather than sustained rhythms are introduced.

A better way to define and describe Morlet wavelets for time-frequency analysis

This paper is to present alternative formulations of Morlet wavelets in time and in frequency that allow parameterizing the wavelets directly in terms of the desired temporal and spectral smoothing (as full-width at half-maximum).

Methodological Framework for EEG Feature Selection Based on Spectral and Temporal Profiles

The results indicate the ability of the proposed methodological framework to correctly identify and select the most prominent channels in terms of “activity encapsulation,” which are thought to be the most significant ones.

Detecting time-dependent coherence between non-stationary electrophysiological signals—A combined statistical and time–frequency approach

Beyond rhythm – a framework for understanding the frequency spectrum of neural activity

This work guides the interpretation of the Fourier spectrum of neural recordings and indicates that power increases in specific frequency bands do not necessarily reflect periodic neural activity.

Measuring phase synchrony in brain signals

It is argued that whereas long‐scale effects do reflect cognitive processing, short‐scale synchronies are likely to be due to volume conduction, and ways to separate such conduction effects from true signal synchrony are discussed.

Fine temporal resolution of analytic phase reveals episodic synchronization by state transitions in gamma EEGs.

The results provide support for the hypothesis that neurons in mesoscopic neighborhoods in sensory cortices self-organize their activity by synaptic interactions into wave packets that have spatial patterns of amplitude and phase modulation of their spatially coherent carrier waves in the gamma range and that form and dissolve aperiodically at rates in and below the theta range.

COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: Amplitude envelope correlation detects coupling among incoherent brain signals

Amplitude envelope correlation (AEC) is applied to subdural recordings from humans performing a visual delayed match‐to‐sample task and shows that coherence and AEC are adapted to different cortical mechanisms of short‐ and long‐range interactions, respectively.

Perception's shadow: long-distance synchronization of human brain activity

It is shown for the first time, to the knowledge, that only face perception induces a long-distance pattern of synchronization, corresponding to the moment of perception itself and to the ensuing motor response.

A comprehensive catalog of data windows along with their significant performance parameters from which the different windows can be compared is included, and an example demonstrates the use and value of windows to resolve closely spaced harmonic signals characterized by large differences in amplitude.
