Background:

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) records neuronal electric activity, crucial for brain function analysis.
  • Assessing brain states requires reliable methods to interpret complex EEG signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate two complexity measures, Kc complexity and Approximate Entropy (ApEn), for EEG analysis.
  • To determine if these measures can differentiate various brain states.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of EEG data from normal individuals and patients in different physiological states.
  • Application of Kc complexity and Approximate Entropy (ApEn) as complexity metrics.
  • Comparison of EEG patterns across four experimental conditions in six subjects.
