  • Abstract
    In this paper, we consider the problem of quantifying synchrony between multiple simultaneously recorded electroencephalographic signals. These signals exhibit nonlinear dependencies and non-Gaussian statistics. A copula based approach is presented to model the joint statistics. We then consider the application of copula derived synchrony measures for early diagnosis of Alzheimer´s disease. Results on real data are presented.
