abstract = {BackgroundThe interaction of different brain regions is
supported by transient synchronization between neural
oscillations at different frequencies. Different measures
based on synchronization theory are used to assess the
strength of the interactions from experimental data. One
method of estimating the effective connectivity between
brain regions, within the framework of the theory of weakly
coupled phase oscillators, was implemented in Dynamic Causal
Modelling (DCM) for phase coupling (Penny et al., 2009).
However, the results of such an approach strongly depend on
the observables used to reconstruct the equations (Kralemann
et al., 2008). In particular, an asymmetric distribution of
the observables could result in a false estimation of the
effective connectivity between the network nodes.New
methodIn this work we built a new modelling part into DCM
for phase coupling, and extended it with a distortion
function that accommodates departures from purely sinusoidal
oscillations.ResultsBy analysing numerically generated data
sets with an asymmetric phase distribution, we demonstrated
that the extended DCM for phase coupling with the additional
modelling component, correctly estimates the coupling
functions.Comparison with existing methodsThe new method
allows for different intrinsic frequencies among coupled
neuronal populations and provides results that do not depend
on the distribution of the observables.ConclusionsThe
proposed method can be used to analyse effective
connectivity between brain regions within and between
different frequency bands, to characterize m:n phase
coupling, and to unravel underlying mechanisms of the
transient synchronization.},
