arXiv:2606.00496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oscillatory neural signals such as electroencephalography (EEG) and local field potentials (LFPs) show phase relationships that coordinate communication across brain regions. Modern recordings capture hundreds of channels across many frequency bins, yet standard phase analyses are restricted to only a few variables. The Torus Graph (TG) model, an exponential-family distribution over phases whose univariate and pairwise potentials generalize von Mises distributions, infers principled structure among oscillations but models only static, undirected
The paper introduces a new mathematical model, Torus Graphs, addressing current limitations in neural phase analysis as advanced neural recording technologies produce increasingly complex and multi-channel data.
Sophisticated analysis of neural oscillations is critical for understanding brain function, leading to advancements in AI, neurotechnology, and treatments for neurological disorders.
This new model allows for more comprehensive and principled analysis of oscillatory neural signals, potentially unlocking deeper insights into brain connectivity and communication.
