Complex networks often exhibit emergent behaviors, where simple dyadic interactions yield collective dynamics that cannot be explained by examining the system's units individually or in pairs. Understanding how redundant and synergistic…
Patients with epilepsy can manifest short, sub-clinical epileptic "bursts" in addition to full-blown clinical seizures. We believe the relationship between these two classes of events---something not previously studied…
Epilepsy which is characterized by seizures is studied using EEG signals by recording the electrical activity of the brain. Different types of communication between different parts of the brain are characterized by many state of the art…
We consider the formalism of information decomposition of target effects from multi-source interactions, i.e. the problem of defining redundant and synergistic components of the information that a set of source variables provides about a…
We address the problem of efficiently and informatively quantifying how multiplets of variables carry information about the future of the dynamical system they belong to. In particular we want to identify groups of variables carrying…
Epilepsy is one of the most common and yet diverse set of chronic neurological disorders. This excessive or synchronous neuronal activity is termed seizure. Electroencephalogram signal processing plays a significant role in detection and…
Inferring strength and direction of interactions from electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings is of crucial importance to improve our understanding of dynamical interdependencies underlying various physiologic and pathophysiologic…
Epileptic seizures are one of the most well-known dysfunctions of the nervous system. During a seizure, a highly synchronized behavior of neural activity is observed that can cause symptoms ranging from mild sensual malfunctions to the…
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder arising from anomalies of the electrical activity in the brain, affecting about 0.5--0.8\% of the world population. Several studies investigated the relationship between seizures and brainwave…
Purpose: The understanding of brain activity, and in particular events such as epileptic seizures, lies on the characterisation of the dynamics of the neural networks. The theory of non-linear dynamics provides signal analysis techniques…
Neural oscillations are considered to be brain-specific signatures of information processing and communication in the brain. They also reflect pathological brain activity in neurological disorders, thus offering a basis for diagnoses and…
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological conditions, where an epileptic seizure is a transient occurrence due to abnormal, excessive and synchronous activity in the brain. Electroencephalogram signals emanating from the brain may…
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder identified by sudden and recurrent seizures, which are believed to be accompanied by distinct changes in brain dynamics. Exploring the dynamic changes of brain network states during seizures can pave the…
Cortical network functioning critically depends on finely tuned interactions to afford neuronal activity propagation over long distances while avoiding runaway excitation. This importance is highlighted by the pathological consequences and…
Epilepsy is a brain disorder due to abnormalactivity of neurons and recording of seizures is of primary interest in the evaluation of epileptic patients. A seizureis the phenomenon of rhythmicity discharge from either a local area or the…
We calculate a measure of statistical complexity from the global dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from healthy subjects and epileptic patients, and are able to stablish a criterion to characterize the collective behavior in…
The dynamics underlying epileptic seizures are well understood. We present a novel analysis of seizure-like events (SLEs) in an \textit{ex vivo} whole hippocampus, as well as a modeling study that sheds light on the underlying network…
The data acquired at different scalp EEG electrodes when human subjects are exposed to speech stimuli are highly redundant. The redundancy is partly due to volume conduction effects and partly due to localized regions of the brain…
Epilepsy, affecting approximately 50 million people globally, is characterized by abnormal brain activity and remains challenging to treat. The diagnosis of epilepsy relies heavily on electroencephalogram (EEG) data, where specialists…
Multielectrode arrays allow recording of the activity of many single neurons, from which correlations can be calculated. The functional roles of correlations can be revealed by the measures of the information conveyed by neuronal activity;…
