Studying coupling between brain areas from its electromagnetic activity is one of the key approaches in epilepsy research now, since epileptic
activity has been considered to be a result of pathological synchronization in the brain. Often, research is conducted on animal models, because
this allows to perform intracranial measurement, and to get rid of interference caused by the skull and to receive signals from deeper regions of
the brain such as thalamus or hippocampus. In this study, the intracranial recordings from the frontal and parietal areas of cortex are investigated
with a nonlinear correlation coefficient and a mutual information function in a sliding time window. The coupling estimates obtained were subjected
for statistical analysis for significance using surrogate data. The dynamics of connectivity between the frontal cortex and the parietal cortex
was shown to vary from seizure to seizure and from animal to animal. Therefore, estimates of the significant change in connectivity associated
with initiation of the absense seizure, found previously based on averaging over a large number of animals and a large number of seizures for
an each animal, can be a result of contribution of a relatively small number of seizures (less than a half of considered), for which the changes
are significant.
