Calculating phase and coherence in neural signals

Lecture 2 of Week 9 of the class Fundamentals of Statistics and Computation for Neuroscientists. Part of the Neurosciences Graduate Program at UCSD. This lecture covers: 1. Calculating the phase of an oscillation over time in a neural signal. 2. Assessing the presence of a phase reset in response to a stimulus 3. The phase-locking value (PLV) 4. Coherence between two electrode recordings 5. Phase bifurcation index (PBI)
