EMD-Based, Mean-Phase Coherence Analysis to Assess Instantaneous Phase-Synchrony Dynamics in Epilepsy Patients
Abstract:
In this paper, an adaptive, non-linear, analytical methodology is proposed in order to quantitatively evaluate the instantaneous phase-synchrony dynamics in epilepsy patients. A group of finite neuronal oscillators is extracted from a multichannel electrocorticographic (ECoG) data, using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The instantaneous phases of the extracted oscillators are measured using the Hilbert transform in order to be utilized in the mean-phase coherence analysis. Finally, the dynamical evolution of phase-synchrony among the extracted neuronal oscillators within 1-600 Hz frequency range is assessed using eigenvalue decomposition. A different phasesynchrony dynamics was observed in two patients with frontal vs. temporal lobe epilepsy, as their seizures evolve. However, experimental results demonstrated a hypersynchrony level at seizure offset for both types of epilepsy during the ictal periods. This result suggests that hypersynchronization of the epileptic network may be a crucial, self-regulatory mechanism by which the brain terminate seizures.

Single-Phase Lines
Consider a single-phase, two-wire transmission line with equal phase spacing energized by a voltage source. One conductor carries a uniform positive charge, while the other carries an equal negative charge. The capacitance C of the line can be derived from the voltage V between the conductors. For a one-meter section of the line, the capacitance is given...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
