Manual acupuncture(MA), as a mechanical action, can be equivalent to an external stimulus to the neural system. To explore the effect of MA on brain activities, we design an experiment that acupuncture at Zusanli acupoint with four different frequencies to obtain electroencephalograph (EEG) signals. Neural system is a complex nonlinear dynamics system that possesses strong nonlinear characteristic,...
Manual acupuncture (MA) is an effective therapeutic technique, which can be equivalent to an external mechanical stimulus to the neural system. However, the regulation and action mechanism of acupuncture is still unclear. In this paper, mutual information method and Lempel-Ziv complexity method (MILZC) are combined to investigate the effect of MA on the complexity of information communication between...
Power spectral analysis is a traditional method used for EEG analyzing. In this paper, Welch method was used to process the signals obtained from a carefully designed acupuncture experiment. The main objective of this work is to find the effect of acupuncture on brain. A protocol composed of three different manipulations has been designed to acquire the EEG signals using 22 biosensors. Totally 9 healthy...
A new approach for quantifying the relationship between brain activity patterns and acupuncture is presented by analyzing the spatio-temporal patterns in the electroencephalo-gram (EEG) using Lempel-Ziv (LZ) complexity analysis. In this paper, EEG signals are recorded simultaneously while acupuncturing at ‘Zusanli’ acupoint (St36) manually. The subjects are 5 acupuncture university students. Every...
