A prerequisite for applying some signal analysis methods to electroencephalographic (EEG) data is that the data be statistically stationary. We have investigated the stationarity of 21-electrode multivariate EEG data recorded from ten…
Coherence and phase synchronization between time series corresponding to different spatial locations are usually interpreted as indicators of the connectivity between locations. In neurophysiology, time series of electric neuronal activity…

Cortical slow oscillations are an emergent property of the cortical network, a hallmark of low complexity brain states like sleep, and represent a default activity pattern. Here, we present a methodological approach for quantifying the…
