EEG

The EEG research technique on the basis of autoregressive models construction and Granger causality estimation by experimental data are described in this article. The EEG is written down from the brain of WAG/Rij rats, which are absence-epilepsy contaminated. The EEG episodes well enough described in terms of small order linear display along with the episodes with expressed nonlinearity are revealed during the analysis. The EEG episodes ordering is spent in accordance with the model parameters received and physio-logical condition of the animals.

The detailed wavelet analysis of sleep electric brain activity, obtained from rats with genetic predisposition to absence-epilepsy, has been performed. Characteristic features of time-and-frequency structure of sleep spindles (oscillatory pattern, that serve as electroencephalographic correlate for slow-wave sleep) have been discovered in long-term electroencephalographic data. Operation has been performed using continuous wavelet transform.
