This paper presents a Lempel-Ziv complexity measure for analysis of surface electromyography signals. The Lempel-Ziv measure provides a metric for the number of distinct deterministic patterns and the rate of their creation in signals. We propose a ternary Lempel-Ziv measure, improving upon the binary Lempel-Ziv measure, and making it more suited for the analysis of biological signals. The Lempel-Ziv measure is evaluated with a muscle fatigue experiment in which participants perform static, cyclic, and random contractions. Results show this complexity measure shows a greater correlation to a steadily increasing muscle fatigue level compared to the conventional median frequency. This measure is computationally easy to compute and does not require power spectrum estimation and signal stationarity assumptions.

Using a combination of fMRI, EEG, and phenomenology ratings, we examined the neurophenomenology of advanced concentrative absorption meditation, namely jhanas (ACAM-J), in a practitioner with over 23,000 h of meditation practice. Our study shows that ACAM-J states induce reliable changes in conscious experience and that these experiences are related to neural activity. Using resting-state fMRI functional connectivity, we found that ACAM-J is associated with decreased within-network modularity, increased global functional connectivity (GFC), and desegregation of the default mode and visual networks.

The human brain is tightly connected to the individual's environment and its input dynamics. How the dynamics of periodic environmental stimuli influence neural activity and subsequent behavior via neural entrainment or alignment is not fully clear yet, though. This study explores how periodic environmental stimuli influence neural activity and behavior.

. Temporal patterns in neuronal spiking encode stimulus uncertainty, and convey information about high-level functions such as memory and cognition. Estimating the associated information content and understanding how that evolves with time assume significance in the investigation of neuronal coding mechanisms and abnormal signaling.
