چکیده

OBJECTIVE Potential differences between coherence and phase synchronization analyses of human sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) are assessed and occurrences of phase vs. complete synchronization between EEG signals from different locations during different sleep stages are investigated. METHODS Linear spectral coherence, mean phase coherence (MPC) z-score and Pearson's correlation coefficient of analytic amplitudes were evaluated for different spectral bands of whole-night EEG recordings from 25 healthy subjects. RESULTS Coherence and MPC z-score demonstrated practically the same statistical differences between vigilance stages, confirming the findings of previous coherence-based studies. MPC z-score and amplitude correlations were most correlated (>0.5) between homologous interhemispheric positions and least correlated between nonhomologous interhemispheric positions and between fronto-occipital positions. CONCLUSIONS Coherence and phase synchronization provided essentially the same information. Complete synchronization was manifested by highly coherent phases and correlated amplitudes, as well as by correlated changes of phase synchronization, coherence and amplitude correlations between vigilance states. In cases of weaker coupling, phase synchronization and coherence change in agreement, while behaviour of amplitude correlations differs. SIGNIFICANCE Phase synchronization analysis is not superior to coherence analysis, although the coupling between EEG signals is dominated by phase synchronization which turns into complete synchronization in the most strongly coupled EEG signals.

Investigating The Effects of Modem Electromagnetic Waves (2.4 GHz) on Electroencephalogram

With respect to the dramatic increasing use of electronically communicators and wireless modems, concerns have been raised about the possible effects of emitted electromagnetic radiation on human brain. In this paper, the effects of high-frequency wireless modem waves on the brain signal are investigated. To this end, the Electroencephalograph (EEG) recording of 15 volunteers is examined in fou...

Evaluation of Electro Physiological Changes of Sleep among Patients with Supratentorial Ischemic Stroke and Comparison with Control group

Background & Aims: Sleep disorders are common complains in patients with cerebral stroke; studies on these issues are limited. We aimed to evaluate the sleep changes in patients with supratentorial ischemic stroke. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 38 patients (19 patients in supratentorial ischemic stroke group and 19 people in control group) were evaluated. Total sleep time, sleep effic...

Introduction of low to high frequencies bispectrum rate feature for deep sleep detection from awakening by electroencephalogram

Background: Accurate detection of deep sleep (Due to the low frequency of the brain signal in this part of sleep, it is also called slow-wave sleep) from awakening increases the sleep staging accuracy as an important factor in medicine. Depending on the time and cost of manually determining the depth of sleep, we can automatically determine the depth of sleep by electroencephalogram (EEG) signa...

Interactions between core and matrix thalamocortical projections in human sleep spindle synchronization.

Sleep spindles are bursts of 11-15 Hz that occur during non-rapid eye movement sleep. Spindles are highly synchronous across the scalp in the electroencephalogram (EEG) but have low spatial coherence and exhibit low correlation with the EEG when simultaneously measured in the magnetoencephalogram (MEG). We developed a computational model to explore the hypothesis that the spatial coherence spin...

Brain Connectivity Reflected in Electroencephalogram Coherence in Individuals With ‎Autism: A Meta-analysis

Introduction: Many theories have been proposed about the etiology of autism. One is related to brain connectivity in patients with autism. Several studies have reported brain connectivity changes in autism disease. This study was performed on Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies that evaluated patients with autism, using functional brain connectivity, and compared them with typically-developing i...
