Chunk #17 — Changes in Frontal EEG Coherence across Infancy Predict Cognitive Abilities at Age 3: The Mediating Role of Attentional Control — EEG Coherence and the Estimation of Neural Networks
remains constant (over a specified period of time) then coherence values approach one; if there is no relation in phase (i.e., moment-to-moment changes) then coherence values approach zero. Oscillatory activity at two spatially separated sites that is near constant in phase due to chance alone is statistically improbable, and is thus presumed due to underlying network properties (see Thatcher, 2012 for a detailed review). For these reasons, EEG coherence has been interpreted as a measure of the functional association between two neuronal populations (Nunez, 1981; 1995; Thatcher, 2012).
