title: Proposed corrections for the quantification of coupling patterns by recurrence plots.
abstract: The aim of this paper is to quantify the coupling during phase-locking patterns by using the recurrence plot quantification approach. We found that the percent determinism of the recurrences and the entropy of recurrences--corrected for border effect induced by finite data lenght--succeeded in distinguishing three coupling conditions both in simulation signals and in real data from cardiorespiratory synchronization experiments.
