Abstract:

Neuroscientists ask how different regions of the brain communicate with each other. We are interested in activity during resting state or a cognitive task. Measures of connectivity (cross-correlation or coherence) do not capture complex types of dependence. We model on the lead-lag relationships between different oscillations. The goal of this project is to develop inference methods for assessing the significance of these interactions. More specifically, the different oscillatory activities at a pair of brain regions. We will develop a bootstrap-based method for time-dependent dual-frequency coherence. We will take into account potential non-stationarity within an epoch. We want to include a variation of the strength and nature of dependence between epochs. We will investigate auto-correlation across epochs over the entire recording. Simulation studies based on realistic electrophysiological settings will be conducted. We will analyze local field potential data in a macaque monkey. Recordings were collected during an association-learning experiment. This is joint work with Anna Dudek (AGH, Krakow, Poland) and Hernando Ombao (KAUST, Saudi Arabia).
