Summary :

Electroencephalographic (EEG) potentials are analysed by the Lyapunov spectrum in order to evaluate the orbital instability peculiar to deterministic chaos quantitatively. First, the Lyapunov spectra are estimated to confirm the existence of chaotic behavior in EEG data by the optimal approximation of Jacobian matrix in the reconstructed statespace. Second, the same method is applied to a neural network model with chaotic dynamics, the macroscopic average activity of which is analysed as a simple model of EEG data. The first analysis shows that the largest Lyapunov exponent is actually positive in the EEG data. On the other hand, the second analysis on the chaotic neural network shows that the positive largest Lyapunov exponent can be obtained by observing only the macroscopic average activity. Thus, these results indicate the possibility that one can know the existence of chaotic dynamics in the brain by analysing the Lyapunov spectrum of the macroscopic EEG data.
