Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Brain connectivity analysis uses statistical measures to estimate interactions between brain regions.
  • Electrophysiological data, including electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), are crucial for studying brain activity.
  • Existing measures often focus on specific domains (space-time, space-frequency) and may be linear or nonlinear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of connectivity measures for human brain electrophysiological data.
  • To describe methods across different domains: space-time, space-frequency, and space-time-frequency.
  • To introduce novel cross-time-frequency measures, including phase synchronization.

Main Methods:

  • Review of formal and informal descriptions of bivariate statistical measures.
  • Analysis of signal processing and information theoretic measures.
  • Categorization of methods into linear and nonlinear approaches.
  • Introduction of new cross-time-frequency measures.

Main Results:

  • A wide range of connectivity measures are suitable for EEG and MEG data analysis.
  • Methods are presented across various domains, offering flexibility in analysis.
  • Novel cross-time-frequency measures, such as phase synchronization, are introduced.

Conclusions:

  • The reviewed connectivity measures provide valuable tools for understanding brain function from electrophysiological recordings.
  • The introduction of cross-time-frequency measures expands the analytical toolkit for neuroscience research.
  • This work facilitates a deeper understanding of complex brain interactions.
