EEG-EMG coherence estimated using time-varying autoregressive models in movement-activated myoclonus in patients with progressive myoclonic epilepsies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We aimed this study at verifying the appropriateness of bivariate time-varying autoregressive models in detecting EEG-EMG relationships and identifying the characteristics of myoclonus-related EEG changes in patients with two forms of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). Our results indicate that TVAR analysis was able to detect the presence of prominent peaks of EEG-EMG coherence between the EMG and contralateral frontocentral EEG derivation in all patients, revealing differences in timefrequency spectral profiles associated to the two different forms of PMEs, possibly correlated with the severity of myoclonus.
