论文摘要
相互作用在介导各种过程和功能的大脑中起着核心作用。它们对于大脑作为一个复杂系统尤其重要,具有与相同结构连接性具有许多不同功能的复杂系统。在研究这种神经相互作用时,耦合函数非常适合,因为它们固有地揭示了底层功能机制。本章概述了耦合功能的一些最新且广泛使用的方面用于研究神经相互作用。讨论了与两个不同级别的大脑相互作用 - 神经元相互作用和脑电波跨频相互作用的耦合功能。提出了与理论和方法相关的方面。尽管讨论是基于神经科学的,但也对其他领域也有很大的影响。
The interactions play one of the central roles in the brain mediating various processes and functions. They are particularly important for the brain as a complex system that has many different functions from the same structural connectivity. When studying such neural interactions the coupling functions are very suitable, as inherently they can reveal the underlaying functional mechanism. This chapter overviews some recent and widely used aspects of coupling functions for studying neural interactions. Coupling functions are discussed in connection to two different levels of brain interactions - that of neuron interactions and brainwave cross-frequency interactions. Aspects relevant to this from both, theory and methods, are presented. Although the discussion is based on neuroscience, there are strong implications from, and to, other fields as well.
