Eye opening increases brain activity complexity and distribution. Electroencephalography (EEG) shows visual input leads to more generalized, anteriorized brain sources, unlike findings from PET and fMRI scans.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Brain activity mapping
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)

Background:

  • Understanding brain activity dynamics during sensory input is crucial.
  • Previous neuroimaging techniques like PET and fMRI have limitations in temporal resolution.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) offers high temporal resolution for studying brain dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of eye opening (visual input) on brain activity distribution and complexity using EEG.
  • To compare EEG findings with those from other neuroimaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded 27-channel EEG potential map series from 12 healthy individuals with eyes open and closed.
  • Computed intracerebral dipole model source locations in the frequency domain.

  • Assessed state space complexity using Global Dimensional Complexity and Global OMEGA Complexity.

    • Main Results:

    • Eye opening led to centralization and anteriorization of EEG sources across seven frequency bands, indicating generalized brain activity.
    • Specific anteriorization of alpha-2 and beta-2 sources was observed with eye opening.
    • Increased complexity in EEG map series trajectories with eye opening suggested more independent, parallel brain processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual input significantly alters brain activity, making it more distributed and independent compared to a closed-eye state.
    • EEG findings suggest a more generalized and anteriorized brain activity pattern during visual processing.
    • These results contrast with the more localized and posterior activity suggested by PET and fMRI studies.
