Summary

This study used the Grassberger-Procaccia method to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) dimensional complexity. Findings show EEG complexity changes with visual conditions and brain regions, suggesting deterministic chaos in brain activity.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Complexity Science
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • The Grassberger-Procaccia method estimates the dimensional complexity of time series attractors.
  • Saturation of dimensional complexity estimates suggests deterministic chaos.
  • Understanding EEG complexity can reveal insights into brain dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate EEG dimensional complexity using the Grassberger-Procaccia method.
  • To investigate the effects of visual conditions (eyes open/closed) on EEG dimensional complexity.
  • To examine the relationship between EEG dimensional complexity and alpha power.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the Grassberger-Procaccia method for dimensional complexity estimation.
  • Recorded EEG from 19 scalp locations in 12 subjects under eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions, repeated over four blocks.

  • Utilized Fourier analysis for comparison with alpha power.

    • Main Results:

    • EEG dimensional complexity decreased across the first three blocks and then stabilized.
    • Dimensional complexity was significantly higher in the eyes-open condition compared to eyes-closed.
    • The increase in dimensional complexity upon opening eyes was more pronounced over occipital regions.
    • A similar pattern of effects was observed for alpha power, with low dimensional complexity when alpha power exceeded approximately 70 microV².

    Conclusions:

    • EEG dimensional complexity is sensitive to changes in visual input and varies across different brain regions.
    • The findings support the hypothesis that the eyes-closed, occipital alpha rhythm may represent low-dimensional deterministic chaos.
    • The study highlights the utility of dimensional complexity analysis for characterizing brain states.
