Quantitative analysis by renormalized entropy of invasive electroencephalograph recordings in focal epilepsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Invasive electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings of ten patients suffering from focal epilepsy were analyzed using the method of renormalized entropy. Introduced as a complexity measure for the different regimes of a dynamical system, the feature was tested here for its spatio-temporal behavior in epileptic seizures. In all patients a decrease of renormalized entropy within the ictal phase of seizure was found. Furthermore, the strength of this decrease is monotonically related to the distance of the recording location to the focus. The results suggest that the method of renormalized entropy is a useful procedure for clinical applications like seizure detection and localization of epileptic foci. 87.90.+y Typeset using REVTEX 1

Dynamic characteristics of absence EEG recordings with multiscale permutation entropy analysis.
Understanding the transition of brain activities towards an absence seizure, called pre-epileptic seizure, is a challenge. In this study, multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) is proposed to describe dynamical characteristics of electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings on different absence seizure states. The classification ability of the MPE measures using linear discriminant analysis is evaluate...

متن کاملRenormalized and Kulback-Leibler - Entropies: Applications to Epileptic EEG
Recently, “renormalized entropy” was proposed as a novel measure of relative entropy (P. Saparin et al., Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 4, 1907 (1994)) and applied to several physiological time sequences, including EEGs of patients with epilepsy. We show here that this measure is just a modified Kullback-Leibler (K-L) relative entropy, and it gives similar numerical results to the standard K-L entr...

Recently, "renormalized entropy" was proposed as a novel measure of relative entropy [P. Saparin et al., Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 4, 1907 (1994)] and applied to several physiological time sequences, including electroencephalograms (EEGs) of patients with epilepsy. We show here that this measure is just a modified Kullback-Leibler (KL) relative entropy, and it gives similar numerical results...
