• Awakening: Predicting external stimulation to force transitions between different brain states

  Deco, Gustavo; Cruzat, Josephine; Cabral, Joana; Tagliazucchi, Enzo; Laufs, Helmut; Logothetis, Nikos K.; Kringelbach, Morten L. (National Academy of Sciences, 2019)

  A fundamental problem in systems neuroscience is how to force a transition from one brain state to another by external driven stimulation in, for example, wakefulness, sleep, coma, or neuropsychiatric diseases. This requires ...

  Recently introduced effective connectivity methods allow for the in-vivo investigation of large-scale functional interactions between brain regions. However, dynamic causal modeling, the most widely used technique to date, ...
• Altered ability to access a clinically relevant control network in patients remitted from major depressive disorder

  Figueroa, Caroline A.; Cabral, Joana; Mocking, Roeal J.T.; Rapuano, Kristina M.; van Hartevelt, Tim J.; Deco, Gustavo; Expert, Paul; Schene, Aart H.; Kringelback, Morten L.; Ruhé, Henricus G. (Wiley, 2019)

  Neurobiological models to explain vulnerability of major depressive disorder (MDD) are scarce and previous functional magnetic resonance imaging studies mostly examined “static” functional connectivity (FC). Knowing that ...
• Measure profile surrogates: a method to validate the performance of epileptic seizure prediction algorithms

  Kreuz, Thomas; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Mormann, Florian; Kraskov, Alexander; Stögbauer, Harald; Elger, Christian E.; Lehnertz, Klaus; Grassberger, Peter (American Physical Society, 2004)

  In a growing number of publications it is claimed that epileptic seizures can be predicted by analyzing the electroencephalogram (EEG) with different characterizing measures. However, many of these studies suffer from a ...
• Improved statistical test for nonstationarity using recurrence time statistics

  Rieke, Christoph; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Mormann, Florian; Lehnertz, Klaus (American Physical Society, 2003)

  We have recently introduced a measure for nonstationarity using a recurrence time statistic to assess stationarity. In this paper we propose an extension of this method based on a detailed study of the statistics for ...
• Detection of weak directional coupling: phase-dynamics approach versus state-space approach

  Smirnov, Dmitry A.; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor (American Physical Society, 2005)

  We compare two conceptually different approaches to the detection of weak directional couplings between two oscillatory systems from bivariate time series. The first approach is based on the analysis of the systems’ phase ...
• Independent delta/theta rhythms in the human hippocampus and entorhinal cortex

  Mormann, Florian; Osterhage, Hannes; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Weber, Bernd; Fernández, Guillén; Fell, Juerguen; Elger, Christian E.; Lehnertz, Klaus (Frontiers, 2008)

  Theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) of mammals are involved in various functions such as spatial navigation, sensorimotor integration, and cognitive processing. While the theta rhythm was originally assumed ...
• Using bivariate signal analysis to characterize the epileptic focus: the benefit of surrogates

  Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Chicharro Raventós, Daniel; Lehnertz, Klaus; Mormann, Florian (American Physical Society, 2011)

  The disease epilepsy is related to hypersynchronous activity of networks of neurons. While acute epileptic seizures are the most extreme manifestation of this hypersynchronous activity, an elevated level of interdependence ...
• On the spectral formulation of Granger causality

  Chicharro Raventós, Daniel (Springer, 2011)

  Spectral measures of causality are used to explore the role of different rhythms in the causal connectivity between brain regions. We study several spectral measures related to Granger causality, comprising the bivariate ...
• Nonrandomness, nonlinear dependence, and nonstationarity of electroencephalographic recordings from epilepsy patients

  Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Schindler, Kaspar A.; Rummel, Christian (American Physiological Society, 2012)

  To derive tests for randomness, nonlinear-independence, and stationarity, we combine surrogates with a nonlinear prediction error, a nonlinear interdependence measure, and linear variability measures, respectively. We apply ...
• Methodological advances in brain connectivity

  Faes, Luca; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Ding, Mingzhou; Kugiumtzis, Dimitris (Hindawi, 2012)

  Determining how distinct neurons or brain regions are connected and communicate with each other is a crucial point in neuroscience, as it allows to investigate how the functional integration of specialized neural populations ...
• Detecting determinism from point processes

  Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor; Mormann, Florian; Kreuz, Thomas (American Physical Society, 2014)
