Fig. 5 - Comparisons between the <strong>Brain</strong>Master <strong>and</strong> Lexicor implementation of the<br />
spectral correlation method. The correlation values are all very high due to the low<br />
degrees of freedom <strong>and</strong> miss-match of calculation occurs at the higher frequencies<br />
depending on the filter parameters (From Collura, 2006).<br />
LORETA source correlations are another example of the application<br />
of the Pearson product correlation coefficient (Thatcher et al, 2006). Below<br />
are examples of the relationship between cortico-cortical connectivity <strong>and</strong><br />
distance from a point source using LORETA current sources <strong>and</strong> the Pearson<br />
product correlation coefficient (PCC) as applied to sequential epochs of<br />
time. The degrees of freedom ranged from 29 to 60 in which a correlation<br />
of 0.367 to 0.254 is necessary for P < .05. This analysis is a cross-frequency<br />
correlation as well as a cross-region of interest correlation. The time series<br />
analyses of cross-channel <strong>and</strong> cross-frequency coherence <strong>and</strong> phase<br />
synchrony is discussed in sections 25 to 39.
