Abstract
We apply the cross sample entropy method to geoelectrical time series collected from independent channels (North-South and East-West directions) monitored at two sites located in Mexico, to assess the presence of pattern synchrony between the signals, particularly in the proximity of earthquakes. To our best knowledge, this method has not been applied yet for the study of electrical signals related to earthquake activity. Moreover, we introduce the multiscale pattern synchrony analysis by extending the multiscale entropy technique to calculate the cross-entropy between two signals, which represents a novel approach to the study of pattern synchrony. The results obtained suggest that in the vicinity of an earthquake the geoelectrical signals exhibit pattern synchrony that persists for long sequences and through multiple scales, in addition to the presence of correlations in each channel.
