Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) as an example of electrophysiological monitoring methods has a rather long history of successful application for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and this success would not have been possible without effective methods of mathematical, and more recently, computer analysis. Most of these methods are based on statistics. Among the methods of EEG analysis, there is a group of methods that use different versions of Shannon’s entropy estimation as a “main component” and that do not differ significantly from traditional statistical approaches. Despite the external similarity, another approach is to use the Kolmogorov–Chaitin definition of complexity and the concepts of algorithmic information dynamics. The algorithmic dynamics toolbox includes techniques (e.g., block decomposition method) that appear to be applicable to EEG analysis. The current paper is an attempt to use the block decomposition method along with the recent addition to the management of EEG data provided by machine learning, with the ultimate goal of making this data more useful to researchers and medical practitioners.
