The characterisation of epileptic seizures assists in the design of targeted pharmaceutical seizure prevention techniques
and pre-surgical evaluations. In this paper, we expand on recent use of multivariate techniques to study the crosscorrelation
dynamics between electroencephalographic (EEG) channels. The Maximum Overlap Discrete Wavelet
Transform (MODWT) is applied in order to separate the EEG channels into their underlying frequencies. The
dynamics of the cross-correlation matrix between channels, at each frequency, are then analysed in terms of the
eigenspectrum. By examination of the eigenspectrum, we show that it is possible to identify frequency dependent
changes in the correlation structure between channels which may be indicative of seizure activity.
The technique is applied to EEG epileptiform data and the results indicate that the correlation dynamics vary over
time and frequency, with larger correlations between channels at high frequencies. Additionally, a redistribution of wavelet energy is found, with increased fractional energy demonstrating the relative importance of high frequencies
during seizures. Dynamical changes also occur in both correlation and energy at lower frequencies during seizures,
suggesting that monitoring frequency dependent correlation structure can characterise changes in EEG signals during
these. Future work will involve the study of other large eigenvalues and inter-frequency correlations to determine
additional seizure characteristics.
