Determination of transmission patterns in multichannel data

Published:29 May 2005https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2005.1636

    Abstract

    The power of today's laboratory equipment allows more and more data channels to be easily recorded. However, some misunderstandings about processing such multivariate data may still be found in the literature. The typical mistake is to treat a multichannel system as comprising pairs of channels; this approach does not use all the collected information about the investigated system, and may lead to erroneous conclusions. In this paper, the differences between single- and multichannel approaches will be briefly summarized and some examples of problems will be described.
