Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Complexity Science
  • Information Theory

Background:

  • EEG microstate sequence analysis quantifies brain electrical activity dynamics.
  • Existing methods explore various complexity concepts across different time scales.
  • Excess entropy is an under-explored quantity in microstate research.

Approach:

  • Quantified entropy rate, excess entropy, Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC), and Hurst exponents on Potts model data.
  • Applied these measures to EEG microstate sequences from wakefulness and non-REM sleep.
  • Utilized first-order Markov surrogate data to identify contributing time scales.

Key Points:

  • Entropy rate and LZC measure Kolmogorov complexity (randomness).
  • Excess entropy and Hurst exponents quantify statistical complexity, peaking at intermediate randomness.
  • Hurst exponents capture both short and long time scales, unlike entropy-based measures and LZC.

Conclusions:

  • Deeper sleep stages correlate with decreased Kolmogorov complexity and increased statistical complexity.
  • LZC offers an efficient entropy rate estimation, while joint entropy estimation yields excess entropy.
  • Statistical complexity metrics enhance microstate analysis by addressing unexplored complexity concepts.
