Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) data from two rest conditions of eyes-closed and eyes-open were analyzed using a nonlinear method named detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The results showed that the EEG fluctuations exhibited scaling behavior in two regions with two scaling exponents (β 1 and β 2). These two scaling exponents were significantly different between the two conditions, and according to anyone of the two scaling exponents we could distinguish the two rest conditions easily. The results also provide evidence that the differences between eyes-closed and eyes-open rest conditions are not only in the alpha frequency bands, but also in the lower and higher frequencies bands.
