Abstract
Neural synchronization plays a crucial role in cog- nitive functions and in performing tasks as it facilitates the transmission of information among the various brain subregions, and thus their communication. In this paper, we use an approach for analyzing and quantifying the emergence of synchronization patterns used previously in the study of data from toy dynamical models, in neurophysiological signals from a macaque monkey and particularly, from prefrontal-cortex intracranial recordings. Specifically, we study the emergence of synchronization patterns in neural ensembles recorded in the macaque brain while the monkey is performing the same delayed saccade task successfully for a number of times. We quantify the emergence of chimera- like states, metastability and coalition entropy in the recordings coming from intracranial arrays implanted in the macaque’s brain. Our results show the emergence of spatio-temporal co- existing patterns of synchronized and desynchronized behavior, termed chimera-like states with small metastability during the stage where the target and the distractor appears on the screen and when the go cue appears on the screen for the monkey to report, namely the two most crucial stages of the trials to be termed successful. Finally, we perform a statistical hypothesis test on the calculated quantities over the successful trials and demonstrate that our findings are statistically significant in the sense that they cannot be attributed to randomness.
