Title
Fractal dimension analysis of states of consciousness and unconsciousness using transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Abstract
•Consciousness is linked to the complexity of distributed interactions within the human brain.•Complexity of structural and functional patterns is detectable with fractal dimension (FD).•A Fractal Dimension Index (FDI) is computed combining integration FD and differentiation FD.•FDI is significantly lower in sleep and sedation when compared to wakefulness.•FDI provides an almost perfect intra-subject discrimination between conscious and unconscious states.
