Monitoring neuronal oscillations and signal transmission between cortical regions using time-frequency analysis of electroencephalographic activity

Oscillatory states in the electroencephalogram (EEG) reflect the rhythmic synchronous activity in large networks of neurons. Time-frequency (TF) methods, which quantify the spectral content of the EEG as a function of time, are well suited as tools for the study of spontaneous and induced changes in oscillatory states. The use of these methods provides insights into the temporal dynamics of EEG activity in both humans and experimental animals, …
