Abstract:Distinguishing between direct and indirect frequency coupling is an important aspect of functional connectivity analyses because this distinction can determine if two brain regions are directly connected. Although partial coherence quantifies partial frequency coupling in the linear Gaussian case, we introduce a general framework that can address even the nonlinear and non-Gaussian case. Our technique, partial generalized coherence (PGC), expands prior work by allowing pairwise frequency coupling analyses to b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
