Figure 5.
The phase relationships of phase synchrony and phase-locking. Phase synchrony (PS) reflects the degree of synchronization between the two signals, while phase-locking (PL), evaluated as the cosine of the relative phase, reflects the degree of phase alignment and is sensitive to both in-phase and anti-phase relationships between the two signals. (a) Values of PS and PL for different phase shifts between a reference signal and signal A. (b) Visualization of the reference signal and signal A waveforms over time for different phase shifts.
