Statistical Complexity and Nontrivial Collective Behavior in Electroencephalografic Signals
, 2009 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 ...
