  • Abstract
    Coordination between brain areas has been extensively studied by analyzing the synchronization of EEG signals generated in these areas. This paper proposes a complex network structure of the brain using the Visibility Graph Similarity technique to study the change of connectivity among brain areas at various stages of an experiment involving sleep-deprived subjects. The parameters of the network have also been compared with that of a complex network with a randomly chosen degree of connectivity.
