Outline • Motivation • Methodology • Results • Conclusion • References
Motivation • Significant difference between adult brain and newborn brain • Time-varying cortical connectivity analysis: a potential source localization approach for newborn brain • ‘Partial’ and ‘direct’ information within the newborn brain • Track the seizure dynamics in newborn brain in terms of partiality and direction of the information flow
Granger causality • Ch1is said to Granger-cause Ch2, if information of the past of process Ch1 enhances the prediction of the process Ch2 compared to the knowledge of the past of process Ch2 alone. Ch1 Ch2
Partiality and direction of the information flow • Indirectand Partial relationships from Ch1 to Ch2 Ch4 Ch5 Ch3 Ch1 Ch2
Time-varying Multivariate Autoregressive (MVAR) model • Time-varying MVAR model can be considered as a time-frozen multichannel FIR filter with the white noise as its input.
Dual Extended Kalman Filter (DEKF) • An adaptive way to estimate time-varying MVAR parameters • Two interlaced Kalman filters • Capable of dealing with nonlinearity and nonstationarity in dynamical systems.
Partial Directed Coherence (PDC) • Extraction of linearly ‘Partial’ and ‘directed’ relationships between channels • Transformation ofthe MVAR-based cross-correlation into the frequency domain. • Time-frequency version can be extended by time-varying MVAR parameter estimation.
direct Directed Transfer Function (dDTF) • A measure based on the transfer function matrix between channels. • Transfer function matrix: an SVD of the cross-spectral density matrix • A combination of partial coherence and directed transfer function
Results • Simulated model • b(n) and c(n): time-varying parameters Ch1 c(n) b(n) Ch3 Ch2
Simulated models - comparison • Two extra direct influences from channel 1 to channels 2 and 3 in the dDTF plots • No extra and incorrect information in the PDC plots • Very small values for the dDTF measure in contrast to the normalized values of the PDC measure
Newborn EEG data • Time-varying PDC was applied to the EEG data. • 10-sec of a 7-channel EEG epoch in presence of seizure was analyzed. • The optimum AR model order was evaluated by Schwarz’s Bayesian Criterion and fixed to 4 during the analysis.
Conclusion • The results show the superiority of the DEKF-based PDC in terms of its ability to track fast parameter changes and at the same time, identify accurate interactions compared to the dDTF. • TV-PDC is useful for characterizing EEG abnormalities such as seizure in the newborn, during which the dynamics of the brain changes rapidly
