Abstract
The authors propose that the cognitive processes related to internal motivation and volition (e.g., intention and preparation of a voluntary action), influenced by central fatigue, could be identified and characterized by cerebral readiness potentials (RP) using methods of chaotic dynamics. The boundaries of single-trial RP and its successive phases can be detected by tracking the data dynamics, and are represented by chaotically behaved short EEG transitions.
