title: Theoretical & experimental analysis of the Non Markov Parameter to detect low frequency synchronisation in time series analysis.
abstract: A theoretical investigation into the behaviour of the Non-Markov Parameter is performed from a signal processing perspective in contrast to previous methodologies based on stochastic processes theory. The results indicate that the NMP can be regarded as an informational metric which is indicative of the degree of low frequency synchronisation in a complex system. These results have deep implications for physiological analysis of biological systems where the presence of sychronisation is often a marker of pathological functioning. The NMP measure is then applied to in vivo micro-electrode recordings from the subthalamic nucleus.
