Bicoherence is a useful tool to detect nonlinear interactions within the brain with high computational cost. Latest attempts to reduce this computational cost suggest calculating a particular 'slice' of the bicoherence matrix. In this study, we investigate the information content of the bicoherence matrix in resting state. We use publicly available Human Connectome Project data in our calculations. We show that the most prominent information of the bicoherence matrix is concentrated on the main diagonal, i.e., f(1)=f(2).

Estimation of nonlinear neural source interactions via sliced bicoherence
Özkurt, Tolga Esat (2016-09-01)
Neural oscillations and their spatiotemporal interactions are of interest for the description of brain mechanisms. This study offers a novel third order spectral coupling measure named "sliced bicoherence". It is the diagonal slice of cross-bicoherence allowing an efficient quantification of the nonlinear interactions between neural sources. Our methodology comprises an indirect estimation method, a parametric confidence level formula and a subtracted version for robustness to volume conduction. The methodo...
Attraction of Li-Yorke chaos by retarded SICNNs
Akhmet, Marat (Elsevier BV, 2015-01-05)
In the present study, dynamics of retarded shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks (SICNNs) is investigated with Li-Yorke chaotic external inputs and outputs. Within the scope of our results, we prove the presence of generalized synchronization in coupled retarded SICNNs, and confirm it by means of the auxiliary system approach. We have obtained more than just synchronization, as it is proved that the Li-yorke chaos is extended with its ingredients, proximality and frequent separation, which have not b...
Functional Mesh Learning for Pattern Analysis of Cognitive Processes
Firat, Orhan; Ozay, Mete; Onal, Itir; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-07-18)
We propose a statistical learning model for classifying cognitive processes based on distributed patterns of neural activation in the brain, acquired via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In the proposed learning machine, local meshes are formed around each voxel. The distance between voxels in the mesh is determined by using functional neighborhood concept. In order to define functional neighborhood, the similarities between the time series recorded for voxels are measured and functional connec...
The role of synchronization of neural structures on neuron dynamics Nöral yapilarda senkronizasyonun hücre dinamikleri üzerine etkisi
Karabacak, Ozkan; Elibol, Rahmi; Şengör, Neslihan Serap (2014-01-01)
Due to the measurement techniques developed, it is now possible to observe signals at different levels in neural structures. These observations give rise to increasing works dealing with setting up the relation between such signals and cognitive processes, neurodegenerative diseases and neurobehavioral disorders. Computational neuroscience is becoming more influential in investigating the mechanisms underlining these signals. Especially oscillations in different neural structures and the role of these oscil...
A comparative stationarity analysis of EEG signals
RASOULZADEH, VESAL; Erkuş, Ekin Can; Yoğurt, Taha Alper; Ulusoy, İlkay; Zergeroglu, S. Aykan (2017-11-01)
While developing models of brain functioning by using time series data, the stationary interval of the time series should be used to model the corresponding state of the brain. Here it is assumed that at the borders of stationarity, brain changes its state where a state is considered as a group of brain regions working together. If the whole nonstationary time series is used, many different brain states could be included in one model. However, it is very hard to decide the stationary intervals for such a co...
