Abstract
Phase patterns of human scalp alpha EEG activity show spontaneous transitions between different globally phaseβsynchronized 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 WileyβLiss, Inc.
