As a measure of dynamical structure, shortterm fluctuations of coherence between 0.3 and 100 Hz in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of humans were studied from recordings made by chronic subdural macroelectrodes 5-10 mm apart, on temporal, frontal, and parietal lobes, and from intracranial probes deep in the temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, during sleep, alert, and seizure states. The time series of coherence between adjacent sites calculated every second or less often varies widely in stability over time; sometimes it is stable for half a minute or more, Within 2-min samples, coherence commonly fluctuates by a factor up to 2-3, in all bands, within the time scale of seconds to tens of seconds. The power spectrum of the time series of these fluctuations is broad, extending to 0.02 Hz or slower, and is weighted toward the slower frequencies; little power is faster than 0.5 Hz. Some records show conspicuous swings with a preferred duration of 5-15 s, either irregularly or quasirhythmically with a broad peak around 0.1 Hz. Periodicity is not statistically significant in most records, In our sampling, we have not found a consistent difference between lobes of the brain, subdural and depth electrodes, or sleeping add waking states, Seizures generally raise the mean coherence in all frequencies and may reduce the fluctuations by a ceiling effect, The coherence time series of different bands is positively correlated (0.45 overall); significant nonindependence extends for at least two octaves, Coherence fluctuations are quite local; the time series of adjacent electrodes is correlated with that of the nearest neighbor pairs (10 mm) to a coefficient averaging approximate to 0.4, falling to approximate to 0.2 for neighbors-but-one (20 mm) and to
