摘要
Comparison of the characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) records treated as realizations from a nonlinear process were compared under four different conditions: eyes shut resting, and three silent observation instructions to predict the patterns of randomly generated lights which illuminated every 10 seconds. The correlation dimension of the EEG was calculated by a method involving finding the correlation integral in m-dimensional space, and found to show some variations within time series. The degree and directions of changes in the dimensionality of the process varied between observers and did not clearly confirm some earlier reported findings, but it is demonstrable that the measures of nonlinear brain dynamics can be correlated with psychological variables. Reasons for this are discussed.
