Kratkoročna auditivna memorija (KAM) predstavlja kratkotrajno zadržavanje auditivno
primljenih informacija u memoriji. Kratkoročna memorija, iako zaseban sistem, nije u potpunosti
nezavisna od dugoročne memorija. Memorija se ne nalazi na jednom području u mozgu, već
obuhvata široko - distribuiranu mrežu koja se sastoji, uglavnom, od mreža koje formiraju
prefrontalni, temporalni i parijetalni regioni i njihove interakcije sa subkortikalnim regijama
limbičkog sistema. Prethodna istraživanja promena EEG-a tokom formiranja KAM naglašavaju
značaj aktivnosti teta ritma. Postoje brojna istraživanja EEG pokazatelja (korelata) formiranja
KAM kod ljudi. Međutim, skoro da nema studija koje su primenjivale nelinearne metode za
kvantifikaciju promena kompleksnosti EEG signala u procesu formiranja KAM.
U ovoj studiji primenjene su nelinearne metode – fraktalna dimenzija (FD), fraktalna
dimenzija u okviru pokretnog prozora (prozorska fraktalna dimenzija – pFD) i entropija uzorka
(SampEn) – za kvantif...ikaciju promena EEG signala tokom procesa formiranja KAM. Analiziran
je period zadržavanja stimulusa u kratkoročnoj memoriji (eng. „retention period“– retencija) u
klasičnoj Sternbergovoj paradigmi za tri nivoa memorijskog opterećenja (MO) – tri, pet i sedam
stimulusa. Rezultati primene nelinearnih metoda su upoređeni sa linearnim metodama –
spektralna snaga, koherenca i analiza izvora EEG signala (analiza dipola).
Primenom nelinearnih metoda utvrđeno je da pri formiranju KAM za stimuluse sa
značenjem (reči) dolazi do promene kompleksnosti EEG signala u posteriornim regionima
korteksa a anteriornim tokom formiranja KAM za stimuluse bez značenja (nereči). Primena FD i
SampEn omogućila je detekciju promena stepena MO. Po prvi put je pokazano da sa povećanjem
MO dolazi do linearnog povećanja ili smanjenja vrednosti FD i SampEn EEG signala. pFD
analizom utvrđeno je da tokom formiranja KAM za reči dolazi do maksimuma kompleksnosti
EEG signala u intervalu od 600-800 ms perioda retencije. Pri formiranju KAM za nereči
maksimum kompleksnosti se javlja ranije u odnosu na reči, u intervalu od 200-600ms sa
cikličnim ponavljanjem porasta i smanjenja kompleksnosti do kraja perioda retencije...
Short-term auditory memory (STAM) is a short-term retention of auditory received
information in memory. Short-term memory, although a separate system, is not entirely
independent of long-term memory. Memory is not located in one area of the brain, but also
includes a wide - distributed network consisting mainly of networks that form the frontal,
temporal and parietal regions and their interaction with subcortical regions of the limbic system.
Previous studies of changes in the EEG during the formation of STAM emphasize the
importance of theta rhytm activities. There are numerous studies of EEG correlates of STAM
forming in humans. However, there are almost no studies that have applied non-linear method
for quantification of changes in the complexity of the EEG signal during formation of STAM.
In this study, we applied the non-linear methods – fractal dimension (FD), fractal
dimension with moving window (wFD), and sample entropy (SampEn) – to quantify the changes
in the EEG signal compl...exity during formation of STAM. We analyzed the period of retention in
the classic Sternberg’s paradigm for three levels of memory load (ML) - three, five, and seven
stimuli. Results of nonlinear methods were compared with linear methods - spectral power,
coherence and analysis of the sources of EEG signals (analysis of the dipoles).
During formation of the STAM for stimuli with meaning (words) there is a change in the
complexity of EEG signal in the posterior regions of the cortex, and the anterior during the
formation of the STAM for the stimuli without meaning (nonwords). Application of FD and
SampEn has enabled the detection of changes in the level of ML. For the first time it is shown
that with increasing ML comes a linear increase (decrease), respectively, in the value of the FD
and SampEn. Window fractal analysis showed that during the formation of STAM for words,
there is a maximum of complexity in the range of 600-800 ms during retention period. In
forming STAM for nonwords, maximum of complexity occurs earlier than for words, in the
range of 200-600ms with cyclic repetition of the complexity increase and decrease towards the
end of the retention period...
