Can we Mathematically Correlate Brain Memory and Complexity?

Abstract

Investigating about different features of brain activity always has been a major issue in studies related to neuroscience. Memory and complexity are two important issues that discussed widely in related studies. However, no study has yet linked between these two important issues. In this editorial paper for the first time, we talk about the tools that can be used to mathematically link between brain's memory and complexity. The employed tools are fractal dimension, Hurst exponent and approximate entropy. Using the concepts of complexity and randomness which are the characteristics of fractal dimension, Hurst exponent and approximate entropy respectively, we make the link between these measures for the brain. The obtained investigations from this study can be widely used by researchers in order to talk about human memory and complexity in different conditions.
