Fractal and Multifractal Properties of Electrographic Recordings of Human Brain Activity: Toward Its Use as a Signal Feature for Machine Learning in Clinical Applications.

The quantification of brain dynamics is essential to its understanding. However, the brain is a system operating on multiple time scales, and characterization of dynamics across time scales remains a challenge. One framework to study such dynamics is that of fractal geometry; and currently there exist several methods for the study of brain dynamics using fractal geometry.

Altered Functional Performance in Patients with Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain condition that exerts a considerable impact on patients' daily activities and quality of life. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate kinematic parameters of gait, functional performance, and balance in women with fibromyalgia syndrome. The study included 26 female patients with fibromyalgia (49.
