Computation of the First Derivatives of the Time Series of Coherence <strong>and</strong> Phase<br />

Angles<br />

The first derivative of the time series of phase-differences between all pair wise<br />

combinations of two channels was computed in order to detect advancements <strong>and</strong> reset of<br />

phase-differences. The Savitzgy-Golay procedure was used to compute the first<br />

derivatives of the time series using a window length of 3 time points <strong>and</strong> the polynomial<br />

degree of 2 (Press et al, 1994). The units of the 1 st derivative are in degrees/point which<br />

is normalized to degrees/second <strong>and</strong> degrees/millisecond in the case of <strong>EEG</strong>. The second<br />

derivative was computed using a window length of 5 <strong>and</strong> a polynomial degree of 3 <strong>and</strong> is<br />

in units of degrees/second 2 or degrees/millisecond 2 in the case of <strong>EEG</strong>. For simplicity,<br />

in NeuroGuide the units of the first derivative of a phase time series is degrees per<br />

centiseconds (i.e., degrees/cs 2 = degrees/10 msec. 2 ).<br />
