5. Asym A chzn A ch n 1 The asymmetry function is in eBioo frequency specifically defined as difference of the amplitudes of two channels and is measured in micro volt uV Relative Asymmetry rel Asy A chzn A ch n 1 A ch n A ch n 1 The relative Asymmetry is the Asymmetry divided by the sum of the amplitudes of two channels n and n 1 The function relative Asymmetry expresses the asymmetry in the range of 1 0 up 1 0 or 100 up to 100 Coherence The coherence is provided in eBioo frequency dependent in the spectrum screen with value range from 0 0 to 1 00 commonly expressed as 0 100 and is selectable as training method as well The coherence is a measure for the phase stability of two signals of a certain frequency The coherence is in neuro diagnostics a measure for the interconnectivity i e a measure how strong the signals of two electrode placements are connected Power Pw SQR A Die Power expresses the power density of an oscillation and is in eBioo currently evaluated as the square of the amplitude A Thus 10 uV of an amplitude is equivalent to 100 uV 0 100 nano Volt 100 pico Volt Hint Delimitation 1 Since A is the Peak To Peak Amplitude the effective Amplitude RMS of a sine wave should be evaluated as Aer Ao SQRT 2 Pw Pweg a Pw 2 2 A lower frequency resolution leads to broader frequency peaks and thus to higher amplitude values in between
