Resumen:
Analysis of the brain activity to external stimulation is an important area of research in biomedical engineering. In this paper, for the first time, we analyzed the brain reaction to visual stimuli with different frequencies using three complexity methods. For this purpose, we utilized fractal theory, sample entropy, and approximate entropy to study the variations of the complexity EEG signals while subjects received visual stimuli at 7, 9, 11, and 13Hz. The results showed that, in general, by moving from 9Hz to 13Hz stimuli, the complexity of EEG signals increases, except in the case of 11Hz stimulus. The statistical analysis also supported the results of the analysis. The conducted analysis in this research can be performed in the case of other types of external stimuli to study how the brain reacts in different conditions. © 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company.
