Abstract
Since the brain regulates our facial reactions, there should be a relationship between their activities. Moving (dynamic) visual stimuli are an important type of visual stimuli that we are dealing with in our daily life. Since EMG and EEG signals contain information, we evaluated the coupling of the reactions of facial muscles and brain to various moving visual stimuli by analysis of the embedded information in these signals. We benefited from Shannon entropy to quantify the information. The results showed that a decrement in the information of visual stimulus is mapped on a decrement of the information of EMG and EEG signals, and therefore, the activities of facial muscles and the brain are correlated (Pearson correlation [Formula: see text]). Besides, the analysis of the Hurst exponent of EEG signals demonstrated that increasing the information of EEG signals causes the increment in its memory. This method can also be used to evaluate the coupling among other organs’ activity and brain activity by analysis of related physiological signals.
