Extracting Transient Phase-Amplitude Coupling from Resting-State EEG Signals
Summary
This study introduces a new method to analyze brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) phase-amplitude coupling (PAC). The novel approach improves the analysis of brain signal interactions by addressing common methodological challenges.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Electroencephalography (EEG) measures brain activity via electrical signals.
- Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) analyzes interactions between low- and high-frequency EEG components.
