Over the past 15 years, cognitive neuroscientists have tried to capture and quantify neural synchronies across distant brain regions both during spontaneous brain activity and in association with the execution of a wide range of cognitive tasks, using neuroimaging techniques such as functional resonance imaging, electro- or magneto-encephalography. Theoretical advances in various fields including non-linear dynamical systems theory have allowed the study of various types of synchronization from time series (Pereda et al., 2005), and to address important issues such as determining whether observed couplings do not reflect a mere correlation between activities recorded at two different brain regions but rather a causal relationship (Granger, 1969) whereby a brain region would cause the activity of the other one.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, cognitive neuroscientists have tried to capture and quantify neural synchronies across distant brain regions both during spontaneous brain activity and in association with the execution of a wide range of cognitive tasks, using neuroimaging techniques such as functional resonance imaging, electro- or magneto-encephalography. Theoretical advances in various fields including non-linear dynamical systems theory have allowed the study of various types of synchronization from time series (Pereda et al., 2005), and to address important issues such as determining whether observed couplings do not reflect a mere correlation between activities recorded at two different brain regions but rather a causal relationship (Granger, 1969) whereby a brain region would cause the activity of the other one.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
