This paper presents a new framework for analyzing cross-frequency coupling in multichannel electrophysiological recordings. The generalized eigendecomposition-based cross-frequency coupling framework (gedCFC) is inspired by source-separation algorithms combined with dynamics of mesoscopic neurophysiological processes. It is unaffected by factors that confound traditional CFC methods—such as non-stationarities, non-sinusoidality, and non-uniform phase angle distributions—attractive properties considering that brain activity is neither stationary nor perfectly sinusoidal. The gedCFC framework opens new opportunities for conceptualizing CFC as network interactions with diverse spatial/topographical distributions. Five specific methods within the gedCFC framework are detailed, these are validated in simulated data and applied in several empirical datasets. gedCFC accurately recovers physiologically plausible CFC patterns embedded in noise that causes traditional CFC methods to perform poorly. The paper also demonstrates that spike-field coherence in multichannel local field potential data can be analyzed using the gedCFC framework, which provides significant advantages over traditional spike-field coherence analyses. Null-hypothesis testing is also discussed.

AbstractPhase-amplitude coupling (PAC) has been hypothesized to coordinate cross-frequency interactions of neuronal activity in the brain. However, little is known about the distribution of PAC across the human brain and the frequencies involved. Furthermore, it remains unclear to what extend PAC may reflect spurious cross-frequency coupling induced by physiological artifacts or rhythmic non-sinusoidal signals with higher harmonics. Here, we combined MEG, source-reconstruction and different measures of cross-frequency coupling to systematically characterize PAC across the resting human brain. We show that cross-frequency measures of phase-amplitude, phase-phase, and amplitude-amplitude coupling are all sensitive to signals with higher harmonics. In conjunction, these measures allow to distinguish harmonic and non-harmonic PAC. Based on these insights, we found no evidence for non-harmonic PAC in resting-state MEG. Instead, we found cortically and spectrally wide-spread PAC driven by harmonic signals. Furthermore, we show how physiological artifacts and spectral leakage cause spurious PAC across wide frequency ranges. Our result clarify how different measures of cross-frequency interactions can be combined to characterize PAC and cast doubt on the presence of prominent non-harmonic phase-amplitude coupling in human resting-state MEG.
