Abstract

Chaotic analysis of EEG signal responding to auditory stimulus with various carrier frequency and constant triggering frequency is given in this paper. The EEG signal is obtained from the digital 12channel EEG system made in our laboratory. The carrier frequency is varied from 1 kHz to 3 kHz by 0.5 kHz step. Chaos analysis such as pseudo phase space portrait, Lyapunov exponent, and so on is done on the auditory stimulated evoked potential. This result is found to be quite consistent with the well known results from the psychological perception theory.

일정한 단속 주파수(triggering frequency)를 지닌 청각자극의 반송 주파수(carrier ferquency, pure tone)를 1kHz에서 3kHz까지 0.5kHz단위로 증가시키면서, 이에 반응하는 뇌전위를 디지탈 EEG측정장치를 이용하여 총 7초 동안 1kHz의 sampling frequency로 컴퓨터로 전송하였다. 먼저 신호의 pseudo-phase space분석을 통해 뇌전위의 진폭특성을 파악하였다. 이러한 해석은 생리학적으로 밝져진 소리의 반송주파수와 소리의 크기 인지사이의 상관관계와 잘 일치함이 확인되었다. 또한 이 신호외 Lyapunov exponent 분석을 통해 신호의 발산 특성을 물리적으로 파악하고, 이러한 특성을 이미 여러가지 접근법에 의해 밝혀져 있는 생리학적 실험결과와 관련지어 해석함으로써 반송 주파수에 반응하는 뇌의 mechanism을 뇌전위 측정에 의해서 검출이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.
