title: Evoked magnetic fields of magnetoencephalography and their statistical property.
abstract: In an evoked magnetic field of magnetoencephalography a wave form is calculated by averaging. We propose that the wave form is deterministic in the case of 5 Hz periodical stimuli. We have found with statistical accuracy that the wave form of a somatosensory evoked magnetic field is deterministic in 5 Hz periodical median nerve stimuli, since any stationary process is decomposed into a deterministic part and a nondeterministic part from the Wold decomposition theorem. For the decorrelation method of blind source separation we have obtained several components which have nonzero wave forms. Via the selected components time series data of a somatosensory evoked magnetic field generated from somatosensory cortexes have been separated from background brain noise by using a T/k (fractional) type decorrelation method.
