Wavelet-based ERP analysis
Traditional approach: Fourier-transform
Fourier-transform
Power density
F () =  f(t)  eit dt
P () = F ()  F* ()
Discrete: Fast-Fouriertransform (FFT)
Spectral Coherence
f=1/T!
Cxy() = |Pxy()|2 / Pxx()  Pyy()
Wavelet-based ERP analysis
Phase-locking vs. amplitude-changes
Morlet-Wavelet:
w(t,) = exp(-t2/22) * exp (it)
Wavelet-Transform:
W(t,) =  f(t-) * w(,) d
Power (t,) = W(t,) 2
Phase (t,) = arctan (Im (t,) / Re (t,))

Interpretation
• Rhinal-hippocampal phase coupling initiates
information transfer ( 100 ms poststim.)
• Information transfer after onset of rhinal dm-effect
(ERPs,  300 ms poststim.)
• Phase decoupling terminates information transfer
( 1000 ms poststim.)
• Reduced gamma power: specific assembly
activation, suppression of gamma “noise”

• EEG = superposition of functionally
specific oscillations
• Averaged ERPs = phase locking +
