Summary:
We introduce a practical and computationally not demanding technique for inferring interactions at various microscopic levels between the units of a neuronal brain network from the measurements and the processing of macroscopic EEG signals. Our methodology is then applied for getting a glance to the microscopic interactions occurring in a neurophysiological system, namely, in the thalamo-cortical neural network of an epileptic brain of a rat, where the group electrical activity is registered by means of multichannel EEG. We demonstrate that it is possible to infer the degree of interaction between the interconnected regions of the brain during different types of brain activities, and to estimate the regions' participation in the generation of the different levels of consciousness.
