We provide a statistical modeling framework to estimate high frequency amplitude as a function of both the low frequency amplitude and low frequency phase; the result is a measure of phase-amplitude coupling that accounts for changes in the low frequency amplitude. The proposed method successfully detects cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between the low frequency phase or amplitude and the high frequency amplitude, and outperforms an existing method in biologically-motivated examples.
Details, simulation results, and applications to in vivo data are published.
