Description
Summary:Studying the activity of organs during aging is a very important research area. On the other hand, simultaneous analysis of the activities of various organs is important to understand how their activities are correlated. For the first time, this research analyzes the brain-heart correlation in younger and older subjects. We analyzed the sample entropy (SampEn) and approximate entropy (ApEn) of EEG and R-R signals (as heart rate variability (HRV)) of younger and older participants while they sat comfortably in an armchair with their eyes open. The results indicated that older subjects' EEG and R-R signals have greater values of sample and approximate entropies than younger subjects. Therefore, as subjects age, their EEG and R-R signals become more complex. This analysis can be extended to investigate the correlation between other physiological signals among different age groups.
