Abstract

Objective. The characterization of neural activity underlying neurophysiological function presents a major challenge in computational neuroscience. Several methods have been proposed to investigate cortical network dynamics by reconstructing underlying neural activity from electroencephalography (EEG) signals. However, these methods generally pose significant mathematical challenges. Approach. This study introduces a novel framework to model the underlying brain activity network from a functional and physiologically-inspired perspective, combining spiking neural networks with EEG signal analysis. The dynamics of single neurons are described by the well-known Izhikevich model, and distinct populations of cortical inhibitory and excitatory neurons are employed to model experimental EEG recordings. Functional interactions among distinct populations are mathematically formalized through connective probabilities. Main results. The proposed framework is validated by testing it on synthetic data, as well as on two experimental datasets comprising data from 30 healthy subjects undergoing a cold-pressure test (CPT), and 36 subjects undergoing a mental arithmetic stressor. Experimental results suggest that the proposed framework provides novel and complementary insights into characterizing neuronal changes in comparison to standard EEG power analysis. Significance. The proposed framework constitutes a promising tool for functionally characterizing the underlying cortical dynamics under pathophysiological conditions.
