Evidence of self-organization in brain electrical activity using wavelet-based informational tools

In the present work, we show that appropriate information-theory tools based on the wavelet transform (relative wavelet energy; normalized total wavelet entropy, H; generalized wavelet complexity, CW), when applied to tonic-clonic epileptic EEC data, provide one with valuable insights into the dynam...

description In the present work, we show that appropriate information-theory tools based on the wavelet transform (relative wavelet energy; normalized total wavelet entropy, H; generalized wavelet complexity, CW), when applied to tonic-clonic epileptic EEC data, provide one with valuable insights into the dynamics of neural activity.
