Abstract

Phase patterns of human scalp alpha EEG activity show spontaneous transitions between different globally phase‐synchronized states. We studied the dynamical properties of these transitions using the method of symbolic dynamics. We found greater predictability (deterministicity) and heterogeneity in the dynamics than what was expected from corresponding surrogate series in which linear correlations are retained. A possible explanation of these observations within the framework of chaotic itinerancy is discussed. Hum Brain Mapp, 2007. Β© 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Preceding papers concern a linear theory of electrocortical waves and their regulation by brain-stem neurones, in conditions of steady-state. The present paper reconsiders the theory, and generalizes beyond the effects of the fibre systems so far studied. Relaxation and unification of the assumption
