26- How to compute the Bi-Spectral Amplitude or Cross-Frequency<br />
Correlation<br />
The simplest of the Bi-Spectral measures is the correlation or<br />
covariance of amplitude or power over time between different frequencies.<br />
For example, the covariance or correlation between amplitudes at 6 Hz<br />
(theta) <strong>and</strong> 15 Hz (beta) over time. One simply computes the correlation<br />
coefficient in a matrix of m x n dimension where m = channels <strong>and</strong> n =<br />
frequency. The diagonal of the matrix = 1 where the correlation is between<br />
the same channel <strong>and</strong> the same frequency. In NeuroGuide the matrix is<br />
computed from 1 to 50 Hz at 1 Hz resolution <strong>and</strong> thus the matrix is 50 x 50 x<br />
171 electrode combinations (actually 171 + 19 [diagonal] = 190). The<br />
equation for this computation is the same as equation 2 used in the spectral<br />
correlation coefficient but exp<strong>and</strong>ed to include correlations between<br />
different frequencies.
