With statistics after Bonferroni corrections, we found that: (a) the summed MSE value on coarse scales of the awake RRI (scales 11вЂ“20, RRI-MSE-coarse) were inversely correlated with the summed MSE value on coarse scales of the resting-awake EEG (scales 6вЂ“20, EEG-MSE-coarse) at Fp2, C4, T6 and T4 (b) the awake RRI-MSE-coarse was inversely correlated with the fast-PS EEG-MSE-coarse at O1, O2 and C4 (c) the sleep RRI-MSE-coarse was inversely correlated with the slow-PS EEG-MSE-coarse at Fp2 (d) the RRI-MSE-coarse and LF/HF ratio of the awake RRI were correlated positively to each other (e) the EEG-MSE-coarse at F8 was proportional to the cognitive test score (f) the results conform to the cholinergic hypothesis which states that cognitive impairment causes reduction in vagal cardiac modulation (g) fast-PS significantly lowered the EEG-MSE-coarse globally. The low-to-high frequency power (LF/HF) ratio of RRI was calculated to represent sympatho-vagal balance.

Multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis was applied to three epochs (resting-awake state, photic stimulation of fast frequencies (fast-PS), and photic stimulation of slow frequencies (slow-PS)) of EEG in the 1вЂ“58 Hz frequency range, and three RR interval (RRI) time series (awake-state, sleep and that concomitant with the EEG) for each subject. Eighty-seven geriatric outpatients with healthy hearts and varied cognitive abilities each provided a 24-hour electrocardiography (ECG) and a 19-channel eye-closed routine electroencephalography (EEG). Here, we demonstrate correlations between the signal complexity of brain and cardiac activity. Whether conventional hierarchical central commands sent by the brain to the heart alone explain all the interplay between these two organs should be reconsidered. The heart begins to beat before the brain is formed.
