Ordinal methods for a characterization of evolving functional brain networks
arXiv:2301.09566 · doi:10.1063/5.0136181
Abstract
Ordinal time series analysis is based on the idea to map time series to ordinal patterns, i.e., order relations between the values of a time series and not the values themselves, as introduced in 2002 by C. Bandt and B. Pompe. Despite a resulting loss of information, this approach captures meaningful information about the temporal structure of the underlying system dynamics as well as about properties of interactions between coupled systems. This - together with its conceptual simplicity and robustness against measurement noise - makes ordinal time series analysis well suited to improve characterization of the still poorly understood spatial-temporal dynamics of the human brain. This minireview briefly summarizes the state-of-the-art of uni- and bivariate ordinal time-series-analysis techniques together with applications in the neurosciences. It will highlight current limitations to stimulate further developments which would be necessary to advance characterization of evolving functional brain networks.
