Abstract:
This paper introduces the use of a new tool based on Morlet wavelet transform to detection the interaction dynamics between two neuronal population oscillations. This toolbox can describe the power spectrum, cross wavelet transform, coherence, bi-coherence, cross phase angle and phase synchronization of two neuronal oscillations. Through a case study of focus epilepsy model, a linear and nonlinear correlation between the neuronal oscillations in the CA1 and CA3 of rat hippocampus are computed. The results show that the tool can be directly applied to analyze and quantify the instantaneous interaction of two neuronal oscillations, which could be a helpful tool to analyze and understand the mechanism of epileptic seizure in EEG recordings.

Effective Value of a Periodic Waveform
The effective value of a periodic current represents the direct current (DC) that conveys the same average power to a resistor as the periodic current itself. This concept is crucial when assessing AC circuits. To determine the...

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
