Complexity is a ubiquitous concept in contemporary science and everyday life. A complex dynamical system is usually characterized by a blend of order and disorder, as well as emergent phenomena that often span multiple temporal and spatial…
How the brain processes information from external stimuli in order to perceive the world and act on it is one of the greatest questions in neuroscience. To address this question different time series analyzes techniques have been employed…
How does the information flow between different brain regions during various stimuli? This is the question we aim to address by studying complex cognitive paradigms in terms of Information Theory. To assess creativity and the emergence of…
Brain activity differs vastly between sleep, cognitive tasks, and action. Information theory is an appropriate concept to analytically quantify these brain states. Based on neurophysiological recordings, this concept can handle complex data…
We develop information theory for the temporal behavior of memoryful agents moving through complex -- structured, stochastic -- environments. We introduce and explore information processes -- stochastic processes produced by cognitive…
Characterizing the brain dynamics during different cortical states can reveal valuable information about its patterns across various cognitive processes. In particular, studying the differences between awake and sleep stages can shed light…
Cognition involves dynamic reconfiguration of functional brain networks at sub-second time scale. A precise tracking of these reconfigurations to categorize visual objects remains elusive. Here, we use dense electroencephalography (EEG)…
Sleep stage classification is a widely discussed topic, due to its importance in the diagnosis of sleep disorders, e.g. insomnia. Analysis of the brain activity during sleep is necessary to gain further insight into the processing that…
We propose to examine the predictability and the complexity characteristics of the Standard&Poor500 dynamics behaviors in a coarse-grained way using the symbolic dynamics method and under the prism of the Information theory through the…
Quantification of information content and its temporal variation in intracellular calcium spike trains in neurons helps one understand functions such as memory, learning, and cognition. Such quantification could also reveal pathological…
Symbolic methods of analysis are valuable tools for investigating complex time-dependent signals. In particular, the ordinal method defines sequences of symbols according to the ordering in which values appear in a time series. This method…
To infer information flow in any network of agents, it is important first and foremost to establish causal temporal relations between the nodes. Practical and automated methods that can infer causality are difficult to find, and the subject…
The electrical activity of external anal sphincter can be registered with surface electromyography. This signals are known to be highly complex and nonlinear. This work aims in characterisation of the information carried in the signals by…
1) Harmonic oscillations (HO) in numerous electroencephalograms (EEG) from different humans are introduced. 2) The probability density functions (PDF, p(X)) of the EEG voltages (X) are normal (Gauss) for OO whereas, the plots for the…
The electroencephalographic (EEG) data intracerebrally recorded from 20 epileptic humans with different brain origins of focal epilepsies or types of seizures, ages and sexes are investigated (nearly 700 million data). Multi channel…
The brain works as a dynamic system to process information. Various challenges remain in understanding the connection between information and dynamics attributes in the brain. The present research pursues exploring how the characteristics…
Cognitive effort, defined as the relationship between cognitive load and task performance, provides insight into how individuals allocate mental resources during demanding tasks. This construct is particularly important in high-stakes…
Inferring patterns of synchronous brain activity from a heterogeneous sample of electroencephalograms (EEG) is scientifically and methodologically challenging. While it is intuitively and statistically appealing to rely on readings from…
