We propose a simple method to measure synchronization and time delay patterns between signals. It is based on the relative timings of events in the time series, defined e.g. as local maxima. The degree of synchronization is obtained from the number of quasi-simultaneous appearances of events, and the delay is calculated from the precedence of events in one signal with respect to the other. Moreover, we can easily visualize the time evolution of the delay and synchronization level with an excellent resolution. We apply the algorithm to short rat EEG signals, some of them containing spikes. We also apply it to an intracranial human EEG recording containing an epileptic seizure, and we propose that the method might be useful for the detection of foci and for seizure prediction. It can be easily extended to other types of data and it is very simple and fast, thus being suitable for on-line implementations.
