Abstract
Permutation Entropy (PE) statistic is a measure of self-similarity of the time series estimated from its ordinal patterns. This measure is used to detect the dynamical differences between patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal controls. The comparison of PE values of Electroencephalograph (EEG) of the two groups in the resting eyes closed (EC) state and the short-term memory task (STM) state reveals altered efficiency of the different lobes of MCI brain in the compensational dynamical mechanism for task management. In resting EC state, PE values of MCI group is significantly (p∠0. 05) lower than that of controls in the frontal, temporal, and anterior parietal regions. In the STM task state, entropy levels of MCI group are significantly (p∠0. 05) lower than that of controls in the frontal region and the left parietal region. These findings suggest that nonlinear analysis of EEG using PE can provide important information about EEG characteristic of cognitively impaired condition that can lead to Alzheimer’s Disease(AD).
