Cross-frequency coupling in EEG data

Presented by: Makoto Miyakoshi

Since the publication of the seminal work by Canolty et al. (2006), cross-frequency coupling analyses have become a part of standard practice in EEG analysis. During this lecture, I will first review physiological mechanism of the cross-frequency coupling phenomena, and review various types of its manifestation. Then I will discuss signal processing approaches to quantify the cross-ferquency couplings. Especially, I will focus on cross-frequency power-power coupling because of its straightforward and complementary relation to a popular power spectral density (PSD) analysis often used in neurofeedback practices.

Learning Objectives:

o  Participants will be able to discuss the mechanism of the cross-frequency coupling.

o  Participants will be able to identify the calculation of the cross-frequency power-power coupling.

o  Participants will be able to list analysis tools to gain a deeper understanding of pathologies within the brain.

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above.  For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
