title: Phase relationships between different subdural electrode recordings in man.
abstract: Almost all brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) ignore information related to the phase coupling between electroencephalogram (EEG) or electrocorticogram (ECoG) recordings from different electrodes. This paper investigates whether additional information can be found when calculating the amount of synchronization between two electrode channels by using a phase locking measurement called the phase locking value (PLV). Special emphasis is put on the beta band (around 20 Hz) as well as the gamma band (high frequencies up to 95 Hz), which can only be used when subdural electrode recordings are available.
