摘要 | Phase synchronization has been an effective measurement of functional connectivity, detecting similar dynamics over time among distinct brain regions. However, traditional phase synchronization-based functional connectivity indices have been proved to have some drawbacks. For example, the phase locking value (PLV) index is sensitive to volume conduction, while the phase lag index (PLI) and the weighted phase lag index (wPLI) are easily affected by noise perturbations. In addition, thresholds need to be applied to these indices to obtain the binary adjacency matrix that determines the connections. However, the selection of the thresholds is generally arbitrary. To address these issues, in this paper we propose a novel index of functional connectivity, named the phase lag based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (PLWT). Specifically, it characterizes the functional connectivity based on the phase lag with a weighting procedure to reduce the influence of volume conduction and noise. Besides, it automatically identifies the important connections without relying on thresholds, by taking advantage of the framework of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The performance of the proposed PLWT index is evaluated on simulated electroencephalograph (EEG) datasets, as well as on two resting-state EEG datasets. The experimental results on the simulated EEG data show that the PLWT index is robust to volume conduction and noise. Furthermore, the brain functional networks derived by PLWT on the real EEG data exhibit a reasonable scale-free characteristic and high test-retest (TRT) reliability of graph measures. We believe that the proposed PLWT index provides a useful and reliable tool to identify the underlying neural interactions, while effectively diminishing the influence of volume conduction and noise. |
