On-line Detection of Perceptual Signatures in Multichannel ECoG
Neocortical ECoG studies have unveiled the presence of active states spatial patterns of amplitude modulation- in the beta-gamma ranges in the presence of conditioned stimuli that resemble cinematographic frames. These sequences of active frames emerge with abrupt phase resettings, followed by resynchronization and stabilization over channels, and magnified intensity. An online pattern recognizer that captures the spatial and spectral characteristics of the active frames is presented. The results of detection are confirmed via high occurrences of pragmatic information, defined by the ratio of pattern intensity to pattern stability
