Background:

Brain information processing relies on neural synchronization.
Analyzing synchronization in electroencephalographic (EEG) data is crucial for understanding brain function and dysfunction.
Existing methods may have limitations in accurately quantifying synchronization strength.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a new method, normalized weighted-permutation mutual information (NWPMI), for analyzing synchronization between two variables.
To develop an advanced method, S-estimator based NWPMI (SNWPMI), for assessing multi-channel EEG synchronization strength.
To evaluate the performance of NWPMI and SNWPMI in various conditions and apply them to clinical data.

Main Methods:

Proposed normalized weighted-permutation mutual information (NWPMI) for bivariate signal synchronization analysis.
Combined NWPMI with the S-estimator measure to create SNWPMI for multi-channel EEG analysis.
Validated NWPMI using the Coupled Henon mapping model, assessing parameters like time delay, embedding dimension, SNR, and data length.

Main Results:

NWPMI demonstrated superior performance in describing synchronization compared to normalized permutation mutual information (NPMI).
The SNWPMI method was successfully applied to analyze scalp EEG data from patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and healthy controls with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The proposed methods showed robustness across various signal parameters.

Conclusions:

NWPMI and SNWPMI are effective tools for quantifying synchronization strength in complex biological signals.
These methods offer a promising approach for analyzing brain network dynamics in neurological and psychiatric conditions.
The study highlights the potential of advanced signal processing techniques in neurodegenerative disease research.
