title: [Dynamic processes in the human EEG].
abstract: The possible mechanisms which determine the temporal dynamics of discrete narrow-band spectral components of human EEG recorded by a single electrode in the state of rest were analyzed. The dynamics of short-segment spectra was observed by application of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to 5-s EEG epochs successively shifted by 0.32 s. For each subject the matrices were formed and presented in a graphic mode. Matrix rows represented the number of points in each short-segment spectrum, and the columns represented the number of short-segment spectra. The columns reflect the amplitude dynamics of a given frequency, and power transition between the columns reflects the frequency dynamics. The most common type of the amplitude dynamics consisted in short (2-8 s) periods of stable activity of the discrete spectral components replaced by symmetrical bifurcation or confluence of spectral peaks. The obtained results suggest by the presence of both additive and multiplicative mechanisms of oscillatory interactions in the EEG. More detailed analysis of the amplitude-modulated EEG processes is provided by application of some additive features of the FFT to both EEG and computer-simulated signals.
