In this article we propose an algorithm for the analysis of multiple relationships between electroencephalogram (EEG) channels. This algorithm identifies groups of linked channels and estimates the strength of relationships within these groups. This is a novel approach that can detect informative cortical zones for particular psychoneurological diseases. It can also be used to create new systems for processing EEG data and diagnose diseases.
