  1. x represents the EEG time-series data and aN indicates the length of the data. b The coherence here is the coherence at frequency fph between the time-varying energy of the high-frequency signal (\({\overset{\sim }{A}}_{ph}\)) and the unfiltered raw signal believed to contain the modulating frequency (Xph), cμi represents the mean of x, x represents the derivative of x, and σ(x) represents the standard deviation of x. dt is the sampling period of the EEG time series, K is the embedding dimension, dj(0) is the initial distance from the jth point to its nearest neighbor, and dj(i) is the distance between the jth pair of nearest neighbors after i discrete time steps. eN is the length of the data sample, R is the difference between the maximum deviation from the mean and the minimum deviation from the mean, and S is the standard deviation. fn is the length of the time-series data, c(n) reflects the relative complexity of the data, and b(n) is the ratio between n and log(n).
