“…A crucial issue in the study of time series originating from complex systems is the detection of dynamical transitions, a task that RPs have been accomplishing due to a set of RP-based measures of complexity. Examples of their successful application in real-world systems can be found in neuroscience [3][4][5], earth science [6][7][8][9], astrophysics [10][11][12], and other areas of research [13].…”

The Shannon entropy of a time series is a standard measure to assess the complexity of a dynamical process and can be used to quantify transitions between different dynamical regimes. An alternative way of quantifying complexity is based on state recurrences, such as those available in recurrence quantification analysis. Although varying definitions for recurrence-based entropies have been suggested so far, for some cases they reveal inconsistent results. Here we suggest a method based on weighted recurrence plots and show that the associated Shannon entropy is positively correlated with the largest Lyapunov exponent. We demonstrate the potential on a prototypical example as well as on experimental data of a chemical experiment.

“…However, not enough evidence has been reported to conclude that the presence of an active mobile phone alters the processing of these auditory stimuli [ 7 , 16 ]. In 2010, Carrubba and collegues proposed that mobile phone radiation pulses (instead of auditory stimuli), can be considered as stimuli [ 17 ]. Twenty participants were included and in 90% of the participants evoked potentials were observed at a latency of approximately 270 ms in response to mobile phone radiation pulses.…”

This study aimed to investigate whether third generation mobile phone radiation peaks result in event related potentials. Thirty-one healthy females participated. In this single-blind, cross-over design, a 15 minute mobile phone exposure was compared to two 15 minute sham phone conditions, one preceding and one following the exposure condition. Each participant was measured on two separate days, where mobile phone placement was varied between the ear and heart. EEG activity and radiofrequency radiation were recorded jointly. Epochs of 1200ms, starting 200ms before and lasting until 1000ms after the onset of a radiation peak, were extracted from the exposure condition. Control epochs were randomly selected from the two sham phone conditions. The main a-priori hypothesis to be tested concerned an increase of the area in the 240-500ms post-stimulus interval, in the exposure session with ear-placement. Using multilevel regression analyses the placement*exposure interaction effect was significant for the frontal and central cortical regions, indicating that only in the mobile phone exposure with ear-placement an enlarged cortical reactivity was found. Post-hoc analyses based on visual inspection of the ERPs showed a second significantly increased area between 500-1000ms post-stimulus for almost every EEG location measured. It was concluded that, when a dialing mobile phone is placed on the ear, its radiation, although unconsciously, is electrically detected by the brain. The question of whether or not this cortical reactivity results in a negative health outcome has to be answered in future longitudinal experiments.
