Estimate of the degree of synchronization in the intermittent phase synchronization regime from a time series (model systems and neurophysiological data)

Abstract

A method for determining the degree of synchronization of intermittent phase synchronization regime from a time series has been proposed on the basis of estimating the zero conditional Lyapunov exponent. The efficiency of the method has been tested on model systems near the boundary of the appearance of the synchronous regime. The method has been used to determine the degree of synchronization between various regions of the brain of rats of the WAG/Rij line having a genetic predisposition to epilepsy.
