Fig – 14. Top is coherence (y-axis) vs signal-to-noise ratio (x-axis). Bottom is phase<br />

angle on the y-axis <strong>and</strong> signal-to-noise ratio on the x-axis. Phase locking is minimal or<br />

absent when coherence is less than approximately 0.2 or 20%.<br />

Figure 14 (from Thatcher et al, 2004) shows increased variability of<br />

<strong>EEG</strong> phase angle or difference as noise is systematically added to the 30<br />

degree shifted sine wave. Note that non-linear dynamical processes are<br />

suggested by the fact that the mean = 30 degrees when coherence < 0.2.<br />

Chaotic dynamics <strong>and</strong> reproducible correlations are often embedded in<br />

similar time data.
