Increasing interest in the study of coordinated activity of
brain cell ensembles reflects the current conceptualization of
brain information processing and cognition. It is thought that
cognitive processes involve not only serial stages of sensory
signal processing, but also massive parallel information processing
circuitries, and therefore it is the coordinated activity of
neuronal networks of brains that give rise to cognition and
consciousness in general. While the concepts and techniques to
measure synchronization are relatively well characterized and
developed in the mathematics and physics community, the measurement
of coordinated activity derived from brain signals is not a trivial
task, and is currently a subject of debate. Coordinated Activity in
the Brain: Measurements and Relevance to Brain Function and
Behavior addresses conceptual and methodological limitations, as
well as advantages, in the assessment of cellular coordinated
activity from neurophysiological recordings. The book offers a
broad overview of the field for investigators working in a variety
of disciplines (neuroscience, biophysics, mathematics, physics,
neurology, neurosurgery, psychology, biomedical engineering,
computer science/computational biology), and introduces future
trends for understanding brain activity and its relation to
cognition and pathologies. This work will be valuable to
professional investigators and clinicians, graduate and
post-graduate students in related fields of neuroscience and
biophysics, and to anyone interested in signal analysis techniques
for studying brain function.
