This book primarily focuses on the study of various neurological
disorders, including Parkinson's (PD), Huntington (HD), Epilepsy,
Alzheimer's and Motor Neuron Diseases (MND) from a new perspective
by analyzing the physiological signals associated with them using
non-linear dynamics. The development of nonlinear methods has
significantly helped to study complex nonlinear systems in detail
by providing accurate and reliable information. The book provides a
brief introduction to the central nervous system and its various
disorders, their effects on health and quality of life, and their
respective courses of treatment, followed by different
bioelectrical signals like those detected by Electroencephalography
(EEG), Electrocardiography (ECG), and Electromyography (EMG). In
turn, the book discusses a range of nonlinear techniques, fractals,
multifractals, and Higuchi's Fractal Dimension (HFD), with
mathematical examples and procedures. A review of studies conducted
to date on neurological disorders like epilepsy, dementia,
Parkinson's, Huntington, Alzheimer's, and Motor Neuron Diseases,
which incorporate linear and nonlinear techniques, is also
provided. The book subsequently presents new findings on
neurological disorders of the central nervous system, namely
Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, by analyzing their
gait characteristics using a nonlinear fractal based technique:
Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA). In closing,
the book elaborates on several parameters that can be obtained from
cross-correlation studies of ECG and blood pressure, and can be
used as markers for neurological disorders.
