摘要
Objective: The objective of this work was to study the non-linear aspect,, of electroencephalography (EEG) in children with epilepsy and electrical status epilepticus during slow-wave sleep (ESES). Methods: In this study, we recorded the sleep EEG in 5 subjects with ESES (4 males and one female, aged 6.5-10 years) who were also mentally retarded and affected by cerebral palsy (3 subjects) and hydrocephalus (two Subjects). The signals were sampled at 128 Hz and stored on hard disk. All the subsequent computational steps were performed on EEG epochs (4096 data points),elected from wakefulness and non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) (with ESES) or REM sleep. The dynamic properties of the EEG were assessed by means of the nonlinear cross prediction (NLCP) test which uses 3 different 'model' time series in order to predict non-linearly the original data set (Pred,Ama and Tir). Pred is a measure of the predictability of the time series and Ama and Tir are measures of asymmetry. indicating non-linear structure. Moreover. the correlation dimension (D-2) was, estimated by means of the algorithm by Grassberger and Procaccia (1983) for the epochs showing non-linear nature. Results: The NLCP test provided evidence of significant non-linear dynamics in all epochs of non-REM hen ESES was evident. Only during, this stage. the possible presence of low-dimensional chaos could also he suspected (average D-2 = 4.02 range 3.16-6.21). EEG without ESES could not be distinguished front linearly filtered noise. Conclusions: The results of the present study seem to indicate that subjects with ESES show a profound modification of their EEG dynamics with the occurrence. during sleep. of long periods characterized by non-linear dynamics and, probably, low-dimensional chaotic structure able to modify in a substantial way their brain functioning during sleep.
