Identifying Phase-Amplitude Coupling in Cyclic Alternating Pattern using Masking Signals.

ABSTRACT: Judiciously classifying phase-A subtypes in cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) is critical for investigating sleep dynamics. Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), one of the representative forms of neural rhythmic interaction, is defined as the amplitude of high-frequency activities modulated by the phase of low-frequency oscillations. To examine PACs under more or less synchronized conditions, we propose a nonlinear approach, named the masking phase-amplitude coupling (MPAC), to quantify physiological interactions between high (?/low?) and low (?) frequency bands. The results reveal that the coupling intensity is generally the highest in subtype A1 and lowest in A3. MPACs among various physiological conditions/disorders (p?

Spurious cross-frequency amplitude-amplitude coupling in nonstationary, nonlinear signals.

Project description:Recent studies of brain activities show that cross-frequency coupling (CFC) play an important role in memory and learning. Many measures have been proposed to investigate the CFC phenomenon, including the correlation between the amplitude envelopes of two brain waves at different frequencies - cross-frequency amplitude-amplitude coupling (AAC). In this short communication, we describe how nonstationary, nonlinear oscillatory signals may produce spurious cross-frequency AAC. Utilizing the empirical mode decomposition, we also propose a new method for assessment of AAC that can potentially reduce the effects of nonlinearity and nonstatonarity and, thus, help to avoid the detection of artificial AACs. We compare the performances of this new method and the traditional Fourier-based AAC method. We also discuss the strategies to identify potential spurious AACs.

Measuring transient phase-amplitude coupling using local mutual information.

Project description:Here we demonstrate the suitability of a local mutual information measure for estimating the temporal dynamics of cross-frequency coupling (CFC) in brain electrophysiological signals. In CFC, concurrent activity streams in different frequency ranges interact and transiently couple. A particular form of CFC, phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), has raised interest given the growing amount of evidence of its possible role in healthy and pathological brain information processing. Although several methods have been proposed for PAC estimation, only a few have addressed the estimation of the temporal evolution of PAC, and these typically require a large number of experimental trials to return a reliable estimate. Here we explore the use of mutual information to estimate a PAC measure (MIPAC) in both continuous and event-related multi-trial data. To validate these two applications of the proposed method, we first apply it to a set of simulated phase-amplitude modulated signals and show that MIPAC can successfully recover the temporal dynamics of the simulated coupling in either continuous or multi-trial data. Finally, to explore the use of MIPAC to analyze data from human event-related paradigms, we apply it to an actual event-related human electrocorticographic (ECoG) data set that exhibits strong PAC, demonstrating that the MIPAC estimator can be used to successfully characterize amplitude-modulation dynamics in electrophysiological data.

Detection of Epileptic Seizures Using Phase-Amplitude Coupling in Intracranial Electroencephalography.

Project description:Seizure detection using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) contributes to improved treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy. For that purpose, a feature of iEEG to characterize the ictal state with high specificity and sensitivity is necessary. We evaluated the use of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) of iEEG signals over a period of 24 h to detect the ictal and interictal states. PAC was estimated by using a synchronisation index (SI) for iEEG signals from seven patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. iEEG signals of the ictal state was characterised by a strong PAC between the phase of β and the amplitude of high γ. Furthermore, using SI values, the ictal state was successfully detected with significantly higher accuracy than by using the amplitude of high γ alone. In conclusion, PAC accurately distinguished the ictal state from the interictal state.

Evaluation of Phase-Amplitude Coupling in Resting State Magnetoencephalographic Signals: Effect of Surrogates and Evaluation Approach.

Project description:Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) plays an important role in neural communication and computation. Interestingly, recent studies have indicated the presence of ubiquitous PAC phenomenon even during the resting state. Despite the importance of PAC phenomenon, estimation of significant physiological PAC is challenging because of the lack of appropriate surrogate measures to control false positives caused by non-physiological PAC. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated PAC phenomenon during resting-state magnetoencephalography (MEG) signal and considered various surrogate measures and computational approaches widely used in the literature in addition to proposing new ones. We evaluated PAC phenomenon over the entire length of the MEG signal and for multiple shorter time segments. The results indicate that the extent of PAC phenomenon mainly depends on the surrogate measures and PAC computational methods used, as well as the evaluation approach. After a careful and critical evaluation, we found that resting-state MEG signals failed to exhibit ubiquitous PAC phenomenon, contrary to what has been suggested previously.

Phase-Amplitude Coupling in Spontaneous Mouse Behavior.

Project description:The level of activity of many animals including humans rises and falls with a period of ~ 24 hours. The intrinsic biological oscillator that gives rise to this circadian oscillation is driven by a molecular feedback loop with an approximately 24 hour cycle period and is influenced by the environment, most notably the light:dark cycle. In addition to the circadian oscillations, behavior of many animals is influenced by multiple oscillations occurring at faster-ultradian-time scales. These ultradian oscillations are also thought to be driven by feedback loops. While many studies have focused on identifying such ultradian oscillations, less is known about how the ultradian behavioral oscillations interact with each other and with the circadian oscillation. Decoding the coupling among the various physiological oscillators may be important for understanding how they conspire together to regulate the normal activity levels, as well in disease states in which such rhythmic fluctuations in behavior may be disrupted. Here, we use a wavelet-based cross-frequency analysis to show that different oscillations identified in spontaneous mouse behavior are coupled such that the amplitude of oscillations occurring at higher frequencies are modulated by the phase of the slower oscillations. The patterns of these interactions are different among different individuals. Yet this variability is not random. Differences in the pattern of interactions are confined to a low dimensional subspace where different patterns of interactions form clusters. These clusters expose the differences among individuals-males and females are preferentially segregated into different clusters. These sex-specific features of spontaneous behavior were not apparent in the spectra. Thus, our methodology reveals novel aspects of the structure of spontaneous animal behavior that are not observable using conventional methodology.

Empirical analysis of phase-amplitude coupling approaches.

Project description:Analysis of the coupling between the phases and amplitudes of oscillations within the same continuously sampled signal has provided interesting insights into the physiology of memory and other brain process, and, more recently, the pathophysiology of parkinsonism and other movement disorders. Technical aspects of the analysis have a significant impact on the results. We present an empirical exploration of a variety of analysis design choices that need to be considered when measuring phase-amplitude coupling (PAC). We studied three alternative filtering approaches to the commonly used Kullback-Leibler distance-based method of PAC analysis, including one method that uses wavelets, one that uses constant filter settings, and one in which filtering of the data is optimized for individual frequency bands. Additionally, we introduce a time-dependent PAC analysis technique that takes advantage of the inherent temporality of wavelets. We examined how the duration of the sampled data, the stability of oscillations, or the presence of artifacts affect the value of the "modulation index", a commonly used parameter describing the degree of PAC. We also studied the computational costs associated with calculating modulation indices by the three techniques. We found that wavelet-based PAC performs better with similar or less computational cost than the two other methods while also allowing to examine temporal changes of PAC. We also show that the reliability of PAC measurements strongly depends on the duration and stability of PAC, and the presence (or absence) of artifacts. The best parameters to be used for PAC analyses of long samples of data may differ, depending on data characteristics and analysis objectives. Prior to settling on a specific PAC analysis approach for a given set of data, it may be useful to conduct an initial analysis of the time-dependence of PAC using our time-resolved PAC analysis.

Tensorpac: An open-source Python toolbox for tensor-based phase-amplitude coupling measurement in electrophysiological brain signals.

Project description:Despite being the focus of a thriving field of research, the biological mechanisms that underlie information integration in the brain are not yet fully understood. A theory that has gained a lot of traction in recent years suggests that multi-scale integration is regulated by a hierarchy of mutually interacting neural oscillations. In particular, there is accumulating evidence that phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), a specific form of cross-frequency interaction, plays a key role in numerous cognitive processes. Current research in the field is not only hampered by the absence of a gold standard for PAC analysis, but also by the computational costs of running exhaustive computations on large and high-dimensional electrophysiological brain signals. In addition, various signal properties and analyses parameters can lead to spurious PAC. Here, we present Tensorpac, an open-source Python toolbox dedicated to PAC analysis of neurophysiological data. The advantages of Tensorpac include (1) higher computational efficiency thanks to software design that combines tensor computations and parallel computing, (2) the implementation of all most widely used PAC methods in one package, (3) the statistical analysis of PAC measures, and (4) extended PAC visualization capabilities. Tensorpac is distributed under a BSD-3-Clause license and can be launched on any operating system (Linux, OSX and Windows). It can be installed directly via pip or downloaded from Github (https://github.com/EtienneCmb/tensorpac). By making Tensorpac available, we aim to enhance the reproducibility and quality of PAC research, and provide open tools that will accelerate future method development in neuroscience.

Characterization of cyclic alternating pattern during sleep in older men and women using large population studies.

Project description:STUDY OBJECTIVES:To assess the microstructural architecture of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep known as cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) in relation to the age, gender, self-reported sleep quality, and the degree of sleep disruption in large community-based cohort studies of older people. METHODS:We applied a high-performance automated CAP detection system to characterize CAP in 2,811 men from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Sleep Study (MrOS) and 426 women from the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF). CAP was assessed with respect to age and gender and correlated to obstructive apnea-hypopnea index, arousal index (AI-NREM), and periodic limb movements in sleep index. Further, we evaluated CAP across levels of self-reported sleep quality measures using analysis of covariance. RESULTS:Age was significantly associated with the number of CAP sequences during NREM sleep (MrOS: p = 0.013, SOF = 0.051). CAP correlated significantly with AI-NREM (MrOS: ? = 0.30, SOF: ? = 0.29). CAP rate, especially the A2+A3 index, was inversely related to self-reported quality of sleep, independent of age and sleep disturbance measures. Women experienced significantly fewer A1-phases compared to men, in particular, in slow-wave sleep (N3). CONCLUSIONS:We demonstrate that automated CAP analysis of large-scale databases can lead to new findings on CAP and its subcomponents. We show that sleep disturbance indices are associated with the CAP rate. Further, the CAP rate is significantly linked to subjectively reported sleep quality, independent from traditionally scored markers of sleep fragmentation. Finally, men and women show differences in the microarchitecture of sleep as identified by CAP, despite similar macro-architecture.

Sleep cyclic alternating pattern in otherwise healthy overweight school-age children.

Project description:Study objectivesTo compare sleep microstructure (cyclic alternating pattern, CAP) characteristics in otherwise healthy overweight (OW) and normal weight (NW) children.DesignPolysomnographic cross-sectional study.SettingSleep laboratory.ParticipantsFifty-eight (26 NW and 32 OW) 10-year-old children.InterventionsN/A.Measurements and resultsParticipants were part of a longitudinal study beginning in infancy and free of sleep disorders. Groups were based on body-mass index (BMI) z-score. From polysomnographic overnight recordings, sleep-waking states were scored according to international criteria. CAP analysis was performed visually during NREM sleep. Conventional sleep parameters were similar between groups. BMI was positively related to CAP rate and CAP sequences but inversely related to CAP B phase duration. Differences between groups were confined to slow-wave sleep (SWS), with OW children showing higher CAP rate, CAP cycles, and CAP A1 number and index and shorter CAP cycles and B phase duration. They also showed more CAP class intervals shorter than 30 s, and a suggestive trend for fewer intervals longer than 30 s.ConclusionsCyclic alternating pattern characteristics in children related to nutritional status and were altered in overweight subjects during slow-wave sleep. We suggest that the more frequent oscillatory pattern of electroencephalographic slow activity in overweight subjects might reflect less stable slow-wave sleep episodes.
