Abstract
The Tsallis-like time-dependent entropy (TDE), called nonextensive entropy, is developed to study the event-related potential signals ( ERPs ) in a cue, ”E”-orientation discrimination task. The statistical characteristics of the TDE for different signal distributions are studied. The TDE analytic results indicate that with the appearance of P2 and N2, a significant decrease of TDE was correlated with the responses to small size cue which support the theoretic analysis. This method provides a novel quantitative measurement for ERPs actives and may be useful in developing a monitoring tool.
