TY - GEN A1 - Hutt, Axel A1 - Schrauf, Michael T1 - Detection of transient generalized and mutual phase synchronization by clustering and application to single brain signals N2 - The present work introduces an analysis framework for the de- tection of metastable signal segments in multivariate time series. It is shown that in case of linear data these segments represent tran- sient generalized synchronization, while metastable segments in circu- lar data reflect transient mutual phase synchronization. We propose a single segmentation approach for both types of data considering the space-time structure of the data. Applications to both event-related potentials and single evoked potentials obtained from an auditory odd- ball experiment reveal the lack of the component P300 in an experi- mental condition, indicates attention effects in component N100 and shows dramatic latency jitters in single trials. A comparison of the proposed method to a conventional index of mutual phase synchro- nization demonstrates the superiority of considering space-time data structures.
