  abstract = {Brain signals extracted through brain-computer interface systems (BCI2000- http://www.bci2000.org) allow researchers and computer scientists to cooperate with techniques, mathematical models and statistical inferences that allow the interpretation of a variety of signals provided by people with conditions that significantly affect the ability to move or perform motor activities due to limitations in muscles, bones or nervous system. For this study, we propose a preliminary test with the root mean square (rms) fluctuation function, with EEG data, whose task was the response given to real/imaginary motor stimulus. To validate the model and all the steps up to the configuration of the rms function, we chose the information contained in the EEG of subject S003, available in the public database https://physionet.org/content/eegmmidb/1.0.0/. Considering the distribution of electrodes in the brain (lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital) and given the data availability conditions (10 - 10 system, EDF format and 160 samples per second), we analyzed 12 of the 64 channels and four stimuli, namely: opening and closing the left or right fist, imagining opening and closing the left or right fist, opening and closing both fists or both feet and imagining opening and closing both fists or both feet. We evaluated their fluctuations individually and the amplitudes of channels 32 and 37 in relation to the others (11, 22, 24, 43, 44, 49, 54, 61, 63 and 64). We observed quantitative similarities when the brain performs the same real/imaginary motor task and that the time of the amplitude changes with the increase of the scale n (time scales). In all experiments (S003_R3, S003_R4, S003_R5, S003_R6), channel 32 x 24, for n > 20 (15 seconds) was smaller than the others, showing that channel 32 (left hemisphere) has the largest fluctuation. From data processing (.EDF) to visualization of FDFA/∆log curves, we conclude that it is possible to replicate the study for more channels, as well as to investigate other types of activities in the human brain adapted to potential variations (DDP) generated by neurons via signals extracted from the EEG device.
