微弱的脑电信号易受其他生理信号或采集设备的影响而产生较大的幅度偏移,影响分形分析结果的可靠性.因此,引入脑电信号的零点穿越间期序列作为分析对象,提出了一种脑电信号非线性动力学研究的新方法——零点穿越间期序列的多重分形分析.采用新的方法对取自PhysioBank"TheSleep-EDF Database"的24 h睡眠脑电记录进行了研究.作为比较,文中使用多重分形奇异谱和去趋势波动分析两种方法,分别对脑电信号的零点穿越间期序列和幅度时间序列进行了分析和比较.分析结果显示,零点穿越间期和幅度时间序列的奇异强度区间均随着睡眠的加深而增大,表明脑电信号在深度睡眠状态下的标度特性更加分散.对实验结果的单因素方差分析与多重比较检验显示零点穿越间期序列的多重分形分析方法在睡眠分期方面具有一定的优势.
Electroencephalogram(EEG) is a typical signal which is particularly susceptible to biological and experimental artifacts that manifest themselves as large amplitude deviations,and this leads to a questioning of the validity of techniques based on generalizations of geometric box counting,such as various approaches of the multifractal analysis.Therefore,zero-crossing time intervals(CTI) which were derived from zero-crossings of EEG time series were introduced as study subjects.Zero-crossings is a frequency-b...
