چکیده
We calculate a measure of statistical complexity from the global dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from healthy subjects and epileptic patients, and are able to stablish a criterion to characterize the collective behavior in both groups of individuals. It is found that the collective dynamics of EEG signals possess relative higher values of complexity for healthy subjects in comparison to that for epileptic patients. To interpret these results, we propose a model of a network of coupled chaotic maps where we calculate the complexity as a function of a parameter and relate this measure with the emergence of nontrivial collective behavior in the system. Our results show that the presence of nontrivial collective behavior is associated to high values of complexity; thus suggesting that similar dynamical collective process may take place in the human brain. Our findings also suggest that epilepsy is a degenerative illness related to the loss of complexity in the

متن کاملInformation flow and nontrivial collective behavior in chaotic-coupled-map lattices.
This work quantitatively demonstrates a nontrivial collective behavior, which depends on the coupling strength in chaotic-coupled-map lattices, using the interdependence measure emerging from a local unit. The amount of information flow which flows from the instantaneous mean field to a local map has been investigated using the time-delayed mutual information. Interestingly, the collective syst...
متن کاملInformation transfer and nontrivial collective behavior in chaotic coupled map networks.
The emergence of nontrivial collective behavior in networks of coupled chaotic maps is investigated by means of a nonlinear mutual prediction method. The resulting prediction error is used to measure the amount of information that a local unit possesses about the collective dynamics. Applications to locally and globally coupled map systems are considered. The prediction error exhibits phase tra...
متن کاملA New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal
The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...
متن کاملCellular automata on high-dimensional hypercubes.
The emergence of nontrivial collective behavior is studied in large families of cellular automata rules implemented on high-dimensional hypercubes. Evidence is found that the region of rule space where such macroscopic dynamics exists is well-defined in the infinite-dimension limit.
