Evaluating the base-scale entropy and permutation entropy of electroencephalogram(EEG)
the relationships among these entropy parameters of EEG and mental fatigue are investigated by analyzing EEG of different mental fatigue states before and after long term mental work
and the variations of base-scale entropy and permutation entropy of EEG under different mental fatigue level are sought out. The experimental results show that the base-scale entropy and permutation entropy of EEG in total(0.5-30 Hz)
alpha(8-12 Hz)and beta(13-30 Hz)frequency band decreases with the increasing mental fatigue level. The base-scale entropy and permutation entropy of EEG are strongly correlated with the mental fatigue. Compared with Tsallis entropy
the base-scale entropy and permutation entropy can effectively reflect the complexity change of EEG before and after mental fatigue. Meanwhile
since the concepts of base-scale entropy and permutation entropy are simple and the corresponding operation task gets lighter
thus
their computational complexity is reduced largely and arithmetic speed is very fast
which makes the real-time analysis and monitor of mental fatigue possible. The base-scale entropy and permutation entropy of EEG are expected to serve as the indices for detecting mental fatigue level.
