description

We apply information decomposition methods to elicit unique, redundant and synergistic causal contributions of ipsilateral and contralateral EEG activity to heart rate dynamics in epileptic children. We find that information flows from brain to heart according to opposite lateralization effects for the delta and alpha rhythms, suggesting that different neuroautonomic mechanisms take place in the pre- and post-ictal phases of temporal lobe seizures.
