A quantitative characteristic, the width factor, is introduced to describe the rhythm dynamics of an individual neuron, and the average width factor is used to characterize the rhythm dynamics of a neuronal network. An r parameter is introduced to denote the ratio of the short bursting neurons in the network. Then we investigate the effect of the ratio on the rhythm dynamics of the neuronal network. The critical value of r is derived, and the neurons in the network always remain short bursting when the r ratio is larger than the critical value.展开更多

EEG data for healthy subjects were acquired using a net of 2 electrodes (Fp1 and Fp2) at PM 4:00, AM 12:00 and AM 3:00 in the 24 hours sleep-deprived mental fatigue experiments. It was presented that initial results for eight subjects examined in three different mental fa-tigue state with 2-channel EEG time-domain Lempel-Ziv complexity computations. It was found that the value of mean Lempel-Ziv com-plexity corresponding to a special mental state fluctuates within the special range and the value of C(n) increases with mental fatigue increasing for the total frequency spectrum. The result in-dicates that the value of C(n) is strongly cor-relative with the mental fatigue state. These re-sults suggest that it may be possible to nonin-vasively differentiate different mental fatigue level according to the value of C(n) for particular mental state from scalp spontaneous EEG data. This method may be useful in further research and efforts to evaluate mental fatigue level ob-jectively. It may also provide a basis for the study of effects of mental fatigue on central neural system.展开更多
