Phase cone detection optimization in EEG data

Signals measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) arrays were decomposed using Hubert Transformations to produce the spatial amplitude and phase modulation (AM and PM) patterns. Spatial PM patterns intermittently exhibit synchronization-desynchronization transitions. During desynchronization, the spatial PM patterns intermittently conform to conic shapes. These phase cones mark the onset of emergent AM patterns, which carry cognitive content. In this work, various temporal band pass filters were applied to study the frequency dependence of phase cones in the beta-gamma range (10-40 Hz). The results are interpreted in the context of the cognitive cycle of knowledge generation.
