Detecting Correlations between Non-stationary Brain Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach is proposed to detect instantaneous correlations between neural activity in different parts of the brain measured with extracellular multi-site recordings. With this method one can also study how the coupling between different areas changes while the animal is performing certain tasks. We illustrate this method by investigating the coupling between the two mushroom bodies of the honeybee brain. 2 Method and Results

A Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation
The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform, called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), is a new and powerful ...
متن کاملA Mutually-Dependent Hadamard Kernel for Modelling Latent Variable Couplings
We introduce a novel kernel that models input-dependent couplings across multiple latent processes. The pairwise joint kernel measures covariance along inputs and across different latent signals in a mutually-dependent fashion. A latent correlation Gaussian process (LCGP) model combines these non-stationary latent components into multiple outputs by an input-dependent mixing matrix. Probit clas...
متن کاملDetecting Clinically Relevant Eeg Anomalies Using Discrete Wavelet Transforms
An EEG is a recording of the electrical signals produced by activity within the brain. A variety of cognitive and pathologies yield specific EEG signatures, which are diagnostic of the condition. As a clinical EEG may contain non-stationary signals, we have employed a Daubechies wavelet to automatically detect embedded signals that vary both in their frequency and magnitude from a clinical EEG ...
متن کاملPhase Synchronization of Two Tremor - Related Neurons
The objective of the study was to investigate the presence of the phase-locking between a pair of physiological tremor signals from two closely located neurons in the thalamotomy area of a human brain. Most frequently used current methods detect both phase and amplitude correlations between tremor signals based on the stationary assumption of the signals. The correlation analysis method utilize...
متن کاملDetecting non-stationary signals using fractional Fourier methods
Signal processing methods have been developed over the last 60 years to detect and analyse complicated non-stationary signals, such as speech and seismic activity. The traditional method for analysing such signals is through a spectrogram based on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). However, the STFT is not ideal since it reflects only the stationary properties contained in any short time-...
