Frequency-phase synchronization in visually induced MEG signals of the human cerebral cortex

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. In paper, using the Memory Functions Formalism, we carry out a comparative analyzing the induced neuromagnetic responses of the cerebral cortex of healthy people to the two visual flickering stimuli. At the first stage, based on the correlation coefficient, we determined the regions whose interaction (on average for the group) for different stimuli differs most strongly. Next, we analyze the phase portraits of dynamic orthogonal variables and the memory function power spectra. We have found the differences in dynamic, spectral and stochastic characteristics of the magnetoencephalogram signals of the cerebral cortex under the influence of the considered stimuli. The findings provide an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the processes of the spread of excitation in the cerebral cortex with visual stimuli.
