The significance of neural inter-frequency power correlations.

ABSTRACT: It is of great interest in neuroscience to determine what frequency bands in the brain have covarying power. This would help us robustly identify the frequency signatures of neural processes. However to date, to the best of the author's knowledge, a comprehensive statistical approach to this question that accounts for intra-frequency autocorrelation, frequency-domain oversampling, and multiple testing under dependency has not been undertaken. As such, this work presents a novel statistical significance test for correlated power across frequency bands for a broad class of non-stationary time series. It is validated on synthetic data. It is then used to test all of the inter-frequency power correlations between 0.2 and 8500 Hz in continuous intracortical extracellular neural recordings in Ma
