Realtime phase-amplitude coupling analysis of micro electrode recorded brain signals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To demonstrate a method to calculate phase amplitude coupling (PAC) quickly and robustly for realtime applications.

Methods

We designed and implemented a multirate PAC algorithm with efficient filter bank processing and efficient computation of PAC for many frequency-pair combinations. We tested the developed algorithm for computing PAC on simulated data and on intraoperative neural recording data obtained during deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implantation surgery.

Results

A combination of parallelized frequency-domain filtering and modulation index for PAC estimation provided robust results that could be calculated in real time on modest computing hardware.

Conclusion

The standard methods for calculating PAC can be optimized for quick and rob
