Entropy and Multifractal-Multiscale Indices of Heart Rate Time Series to Evaluate Intricate Cognitive-Autonomic Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Recent research has clarified the existence of a networked system involving a cortical and subcortical circuitry regulating both cognition and cardiac autonomic control, which is dynamically organized as a function of cognitive demand. The main interactions span multiple temporal and spatial scales and are extensively governed by nonlinear processes. Hence, entropy and (multi)fractality in heart period time series are suitable to capture emergent behavior of the cognitive-autonomic network coordination. This study investigated how entropy and multifractal-multiscale analyses could depict specific cognitive-autonomic architectures reflected in the heart rate dynamics when students performed selective inhibition tasks. The participants (N=37) completed cognitive interference (Stroop color and word task), action cancellation (stop-signal) and action restraint (go/no-go) tasks, compared to watching a neutral movie as baseline. Entropy and fractal markers (respectively, the refined composite multiscale entropy and multifractal-multiscale detrended fluctuation analysis) outperformed other time-domain and frequency-domain markers of the heart rate variability in distinguishing cognitive tasks. Crucially, the entropy increased selectively during cognitive interference and the multifractality increased during action cancellation. An interpretative hypothesis is that cognitive interference elicited a greater richness in interactive processes that form the central autonomic network while action cancellation, which is achieved via biasing a sensorimotor network, could lead to a scale-specific heightening of multifractal behavior.

A Fast DFA Algorithm for Multifractal Multiscale Analysis of Physiological Time Series.

Project description:Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a popular tool in physiological and medical studies for estimating the self-similarity coefficient, ?, of time series. Recent researches extended its use for evaluating multifractality (where ? is a function of the multifractal parameter q) at different scales n. In this way, the multifractal-multiscale DFA provides a bidimensional surface ?(q,n) to quantify the level of multifractality at each scale separately. We recently showed that scale resolution and estimation variability of ?(q,n) can be improved at each scale n by splitting the series into maximally overlapped blocks. This, however, increases the computational load making DFA estimations unfeasible in most applications. Our aim is to provide a DFA algorithm sufficiently fast to evaluate the multifractal DFA with maximally overlapped blocks even on long time series, as usually recorded in physiological or clinical settings, therefore improving the quality of the ?(q,n) estimate. For this aim, we revise the analytic formulas for multifractal DFA with first- and second-order detrending polynomials (i.e., DFA1 and DFA2) and propose a faster algorithm than the currently available codes. Applying it on synthesized fractal/multifractal series we demonstrate its numerical stability and a computational time about 1% that required by traditional codes. Analyzing long physiological signals (heart-rate tachograms from a 24-h Holter recording and electroencephalographic traces from a sleep study), we illustrate its capability to provide high-resolution ?(q,n) surfaces that better describe the multifractal/multiscale properties of time series in physiology. The proposed fast algorithm might, therefore, make it easier deriving richer information on the complex dynamics of clinical signals, possibly improving risk stratification or the assessment of medical interventions and rehabilitation protocols.

Multiscale entropy rate analysis of complex mobile agents.

Project description:Accurate prediction of the motion of objects is a central scientific goal. For deterministic or stochastic processes, models exist which characterize motion with a high degree of reliability. For complex systems, or those where objects have a degree of agency, characterizing motion is far more challenging. The information entropy rate of motion through a discrete space can place a limit on the predictability of even the most complex or history-dependent actor, but the variability in measured encountered locations is inexorably tied to the spatial and temporal resolutions of those measurements. This relation depends on the path of the actor in ways that can be used to derive a general law in closed form relating the mobility entropy rate to different spatial and temporal resolutions, and the path properties within each cell along the path. Correcting for spatial and temporal effects through regression yields the path properties and a measure of mobility entropy rate robust to changes in dimension, allowing comparison of mobility entropy rates between datasets. Employing this measure on empirical datasets yields novel findings, from the similarity of taxicabs to drifters, to the predictable motions of undergraduates, to the browsing habits of Canadian moose.

(Multiscale) Cross-Entropy Methods: A Review.

Project description:Cross-entropy was introduced in 1996 to quantify the degree of asynchronism between two time series. In 2009, a multiscale cross-entropy measure was proposed to analyze the dynamical characteristics of the coupling behavior between two sequences on multiple scales. Since their introductions, many improvements and other methods have been developed. In this review we offer a state-of-the-art on cross-entropy measures and their multiscale approaches.

Optimized Multiscale Entropy Model Based on Resting-State fMRI for Appraising Cognitive Performance in Healthy Elderly.

Project description:Many studies have indicated that an entropy model can capture the dynamic characteristics of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) signals. However, there are problems of subjectivity and lack of uniform standards in the selection of model parameters relying on experience when using the entropy model to analyze rfMRI. To address this issue, an optimized multiscale entropy (MSE) model was proposed to confirm the parameters objectively. All healthy elderly volunteers were divided into two groups, namely, excellent and poor, by the scores estimated through traditional scale tests before the rfMRI scan. The parameters of the MSE model were optimized with the help of sensitivity parameters such as receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the ROC curve (AUC) in a comparison study between the two groups. The brain regions with significant differences in entropy values were considered biomarkers. Their entropy values were regarded as feature vectors to use as input for the probabilistic neural network in the classification of cognitive scores. Classification accuracy of 80.05% was obtained using machine learning. These results show that the optimized MSE model can accurately select the brain regions sensitive to cognitive performance and objectively select fixed parameters for MSE. This work was expected to provide the basis for entropy to test the cognitive scores of the healthy elderly.

Dynamic Complexity of Spontaneous BOLD Activity in Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Multiscale Entropy Analysis.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive deterioration of brain function among elderly people. Studies revealed aberrant correlations in spontaneous blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) over a wide range of temporal scales. However, the study of the temporal dynamics of BOLD signals in subjects with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains largely unexplored. Multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis is a method for estimating the complexity of finite time series over multiple time scales. In this research, we applied MSE analysis to investigate the abnormal complexity of BOLD signals using the rs-fMRI data from the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) database. There were 30 normal controls (NCs), 33 early MCI (EMCI), 32 late MCI (LMCI), and 29 AD patients. Following preprocessing of the BOLD signals, whole-brain MSE maps across six time scales were generated using the Complexity Toolbox. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis on the MSE maps of four groups revealed significant differences in the thalamus, insula, lingual gyrus and inferior occipital gyrus, superior frontal gyrus and olfactory cortex, supramarginal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus on multiple time scales. Compared with the NC group, MCI and AD patients had significant reductions in the complexity of BOLD signals and AD patients demonstrated lower complexity than that of the MCI subjects. Additionally, the complexity of BOLD signals from the regions of interest (ROIs) was found to be significantly associated with cognitive decline in patient groups on multiple time scales. Consequently, the complexity or MSE of BOLD signals may provide an imaging biomarker of cognitive impairments in MCI and AD.

Entropy of Simulated Liquids Using Multiscale Cell Correlation.

Project description:Accurately calculating the entropy of liquids is an important goal, given that many processes take place in the liquid phase. Of almost equal importance is understanding the values obtained. However, there are few methods that can calculate the entropy of such systems, and fewer still to make sense of the values obtained. We present our multiscale cell correlation (MCC) method to calculate the entropy of liquids from molecular dynamics simulations. The method uses forces and torques at the molecule and united-atom levels and probability distributions of molecular coordinations and conformations. The main differences with previous work are the consistent treatment of the mean-field cell approximation to the approriate degrees of freedom, the separation of the force and torque covariance matrices, and the inclusion of conformation correlation for molecules with multiple dihedrals. MCC is applied to a broader set of 56 important industrial liquids modeled using the Generalized AMBER Force Field (GAFF) and Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations (OPLS) force fields with 1.14*CM1A charges. Unsigned errors versus experimental entropies are 8.7 J K - 1 mol - 1 for GAFF and 9.8 J K - 1 mol - 1 for OPLS. This is significantly better than the 2-Phase Thermodynamics method for the subset of molecules in common, which is the only other method that has been applied to such systems. MCC makes clear why the entropy has the value it does by providing a decomposition in terms of translational and rotational vibrational entropy and topographical entropy at the molecular and united-atom levels.

Multiscale Entropy of the Heart Rate Variability for the Prediction of an Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation.

Project description:BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a significant risk factor for ischemic strokes, and making a robust risk stratification scheme would be important. Few studies have examined whether nonlinear dynamics of the heart rate could predict ischemic strokes in AF. We examined whether a novel complexity measurement of the heart rate variability called multiscale entropy (MSE) was a useful risk stratification measure of ischemic strokes in patients with permanent AF.Methods and resultsWe examined 173 consecutive patients (age 69 ± 11 years) with permanent AF who underwent 24-hour Holter electrocardiography from April 2005 to December 2006. We assessed several frequency ranges of the MSE and CHA2DS2-VASc score (1 point for congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, vascular disease, an age 65 to 74 years, and a female sex and 2 points for an age ≥ 75 years and a stroke or transient ischemic attack). We found 22 (13%) incident ischemic strokes during a mean follow up of 3.8-years. The average value of the MSE in the very-low frequency subrange (90-300 s, MeanEnVLF2) was significantly higher in patients who developed ischemic strokes than in those who did not (0.68 ± 0.15 vs. 0.60±0.14, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the C-statistic between the CHA2DS2-VASc score and MeanEnVLF2 (0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.43-0.69 vs. 0.66; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.79). After an adjustment for the age, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and antithrombotic agent, a Cox hazard regression model revealed that the MeanEnVLF2 was an independent predictor of an ischemic stroke (hazard ratio per 1-SD increment, 1.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-2.07, P<0.01).ConclusionThe MeanEnVLF2 in 24-hour Holter electrocardiography is a useful risk stratification measure of ischemic strokes during the long-term follow-up in patients with permanent AF.

A multiscale analytical approach to evaluate osseointegration.

Project description:Osseointegrated implants are frequently used in reconstructive surgery, both in the dental and orthopedic field, restoring physical function and improving the quality of life for the patients. The bone anchorage is typically evaluated at micrometer resolution, while bone tissue is a dynamic composite material composed of nanoscale collagen fibrils and apatite crystals, with defined hierarchical levels at different length scales. In order to understand the bone formation and the ultrastructure of the interfacial tissue, analytical strategies needs to be implemented enabling multiscale and multimodal analyses of the intact interface. This paper describes a sample preparation route for successive analyses allowing assessment of the different hierarchical levels of interest, going from macro to nano scale and could be implemented on single samples. Examples of resulting analyses of different techniques on one type of implant surface is given, with emphasis on correlating the length scale between the different techniques. The bone-implant interface shows an intimate contact between mineralized collagen bundles and the outermost surface of the oxide layer, while bone mineral is found in the nanoscale surface features creating a functionally graded interface. Osteocytes exhibit a direct contact with the implant surface via canaliculi that house their dendritic processes. Blood vessels are frequently found in close proximity to the implant surface either within the mineralized bone matrix or at regions of remodeling.

Nonlinear temperature effects on multifractal complexity of metabolic rate of mice.

Project description:Complex physiological dynamics have been argued to be a signature of healthy physiological function. Here we test whether the complexity of metabolic rate fluctuations in small endotherms decreases with lower environmental temperatures. To do so, we examine the multifractal temporal scaling properties of the rate of change in oxygen consumption r(VO2), in the laboratory mouse Mus musculus, assessing their long range correlation properties across seven different environmental temperatures, ranging from 0 °C to 30 °C. To do so, we applied multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA), finding that r(VO2) fluctuations show two scaling regimes. For small time scales below the crossover time (approximately 102 s), either monofractal or weak multifractal dynamics are observed depending on whether Ta < 15 °C or Ta > 15 °C respectively. For larger time scales, r(VO2) fluctuations are characterized by an asymptotic scaling exponent that indicates multifractal anti-persistent or uncorrelated dynamics. For both scaling regimes, a generalization of the multiplicative cascade model provides very good fits for the Renyi exponents ?(q), showing that the infinite number of exponents h(q) can be described by only two independent parameters, a and b. We also show that the long-range correlation structure of r(VO2) time series differs from randomly shuffled series, and may not be explained as an artifact of stochastic sampling of a linear frequency spectrum. These results show that metabolic rate dynamics in a well studied micro-endotherm are consistent with a highly non-linear feedback control system.

The autonomic balance of heart rhythm complexity after renal artery denervation: insight from entropy of entropy and average entropy analysis.

Project description:BackgroundThe current method to evaluate the autonomic balance after renal denervation (RDN) relies on heart rate variability (HRV). However, parameters of HRV were not always predictive of response to RDN. Therefore, the complexity and disorder of heart rhythm, measured by entropy of entropy (EoE) and average entropy (AE), have been used to analyze autonomic dysfunction. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in autonomic status after RDN via EoE and AE analysis.MethodsFive patients were prospectively enrolled in the Global SYMPLICITY Registry from 2020 to 2021. 24-h Holter and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed at baseline and 3 months after RDN procedures. The autonomic status was analyzed using the entropy-based AE and EoE analysis and the conventional HRV-based low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and LF/HF.ResultsAfter RDN, the ABPM of all patients showed a significant reduction in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate. Only AE and HF values of all patients had consistent changes after RDN (p < 0.05). The spearman rank-order correlation coefficient of AE vs. HF was 0.86, but AE had a lower coefficient of variation than HF.ConclusionsMonitoring the AE and EoE analysis could be an alternative to interpreting autonomic status. In addition, a relative change of autonomic tone, especially an increasing parasympathetic activity, could restore autonomic balance after RDN.
