Abstract

The source of both the measured visual evoked potentials and the measured visual evoked magnetic fields was estimated by means of an inverse procedure. The model used consisted of a single current dipole positioned in a volume conductor consisting of four concentric spheres. Comparison of the results showed that the estimations did not always match. In order to reveal a possible cause of this mismatch a realistically shaped multicompartment model of the head was constructed. From forward simulations it followed that the influence of the realistic shape was apparent, especially when the dipole was positioned deep within the brains.

Characteristic nonlinearities of the 3/s ictal electroencephalogram identified by nonlinear autoregressive analysis.

We describe a method for the characterization of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals based on a model which features nonlinear feedback. The characteristic EEG 'fingerprints' obtained through this approach display the time-course of nonlinear interactions, rather than aspects susceptible to standard spectral analysis. Fingerprints of seizure discharges in six patients (five with typical absence seizures, one with complex partial seizures) revealed significant nonlinear interactions. The timing and pattern of these interactions correlated closely with the seizure type. Nonlinear autoregressive (NLAR) analysis is compared with other nonlinear dynamical measures that have been applied to the EEG.

Nonlinear autoregressive analysis of the 3/s ictal electroencephalogram: implications for underlying dynamics.

In a previous study, nonlinear autoregressive (NLAR) models applied to ictal electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings in six patients revealed nonlinear signal interactions that correlated with seizure type and clinical diagnosis. Here we interpret these models from a theoretical viewpoint. Extended models with multiple nonlinear terms are employed to demonstrate the independence of nonlinear dynamical interactions identified in the 'NLAR fingerprint' of patients with 3/s seizure discharges. Analysis of the role of periodicity in the EEG signal reveals that the fingerprints reflect the dynamics not only of the periodic discharge itself, but also of the fluctuations of each cycle about an average waveform. A stability analysis is used to make qualitative inferences concerning the network properties of the ictal generators. Finally, the NLAR fingerprint is analyzed in the context of Volterra-Weiner theory.

Application of the correlation integral to respiratory data of infants during REM sleep.

Non-linear time sequence analysis has been performed on infant sleep measurement data in order to obtain more information about the respiratory processes. As a first step, respiration data during REM sleep were analysed with methods from non-linear dynamics, especially, the correlation integral and the slope of its log-log plot, representing the correlation dimension. Before calculation of the correlation integral, a special kind of filtering has to be applied to the data. This filtering algorithm is a state space and singular value decomposition-based noise reduction method, and it is used to separate the noise and signal subspaces. The dynamics of a signal (in our case data from the respiratory process) and its degrees of freedom can be characterised by the correlation integral and by the correlation dimension, respectively. The main result of this study is that the highly irregular-looking breathing patterns during REM sleep could be described by a deterministic system, and finally the physiological significance of this finding is discussed.
