Abstract: In the paper a new method for detection EEG rhythmic components phase synchronization is proposed and investigated. It can be applied for detecting synchronization as in the case of averaged ERPs as in the single-trial ones. The method proposed is based on empirical probability distribution functions technique, particularly on function tangent slope analysis. Experimental results and their compliance with modern brain investigations are also under discussion.
