چکیده

Several investigators of EEG time series reported a rejection of the null hypothesis of linear stochastic dynamics for epochs longer than 10 s. We examine whether this rejection is related to nonlinearity or to nonstationarity. Our approach is a combination of autoregressive modeling and surrogate data testing. It is shown that the fraction of subsegments, for which the null hypothesis has to be rejected increases with the length of the subsegments and can be related to fluctuations of the AR-coefficients on time scales in the range from 2–30 s.

The sleeping brain as a dynamical system - insights from time series analysis of the human sleep EEG

The human sleep EEG is studied using a dynamical system approach to the sleeping brain. The dynamics of the sleeping brain is governed by multiple time scales: ranging from the typical EEG oscillations at 1 − 30 Hz up to the ≈ 24h circadian rhythm. Starting point is the fastest time scale the sleep oscillations. They are described by modeling the EEG using adaptive linear models. The slower dyn...

An automated sleep-state classification algorithm for quantifying sleep timing and sleep-dependent dynamics of electroencephalographic and cerebral metabolic parameters

INTRODUCTION Rodent sleep research uses electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) to determine the sleep state of an animal at any given time. EEG and EMG signals, typically sampled at >100 Hz, are segmented arbitrarily into epochs of equal duration (usually 2-10 seconds), and each epoch is scored as wake, slow-wave sleep (SWS), or rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMS), on the basis of ...

Effect of Acute and Chronic Heat Exposure on Frequency of EEG Components in Different Sleep-Wake State in Young Rats

The recent literatures indicate that central nervous system (CNS) is highly vulnerable to systemic hyperthermia induced by whole body heating on conscious animals. In the present study, cerebral electrical activity or EEG (electroencephalogram) following exposure to high environmental heat has been studied in moving rats. Rats were divided into three group (i) acute heat stress-subjected to a s...

Discrete Scale Invariance of Human Large EEG Voltage Deflections is More Prominent in Waking than Sleep Stage 2

Electroencephalography (EEG) is typically viewed through the lens of spectral analysis. Recently, multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that the underlying neuronal dynamics are characterized by scale-free avalanches. These results suggest that techniques from statistical physics may be used to analyze EEG signals. We utilized a publicly available database of fourteen subjects with wakin...

["Microcyclic" changes in brain bioelectrical activity during different stages of human natural sleep].

This study presents data on some phasic EEG phenomena regulary recorded during sleep - wakefulness cycle and heterogeneity of EEG sleep stages forming consecutive human sleep macrocycles. These short-term EEG changes quite often tend to periodization, especially during initial sleep-stages and transitive states (sleep microcycles). An attempt was made to reveal EEG microstructures in sleep - wa...

The effect of hydro-alcoholic of Phoenix Dactylifera extract on sleep and EEG in rat

Objective: Hard envelope of date palm pollen is used as a sedative and calmative compounds in Iranian traditional medicine. We tried to study the effects of Phoenix dactylifera (Tarooneh) extract on sleep time and Brian waves. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into control and test groups in sleep experiment. Control groups included intact group (without any injection), negative control ...
