This study investigates spatial feature analysis and dynamical processes of brain functional networks based on data correlation. After preprocessing the electroencephalogram recordings from participants, brain functional networks are constructed using phase transfer entropy, capturing the interactions between neuronal clusters in the brain. Independent sample t tests are conducted to assess statistical significance, and ROC curve analysis is employed to characterize the spatial features distinguishing Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls, quantifying the differences in brain network organization. Additionally, the directionality of information flow between brain regions is analyzed through the phase transfer entropy networks to elucidate interregional information transfer. By analyzing the transmission mechanisms of signals in different brain regions, the spatial feature of brain functional network for PD are obtained. The findings from the simulation analysis are consistent with previously reported physiological experimental results, offering a theoretical foundation for understanding the dynamical processes of brain networks.
