Abstract

Evaluation of the correlation of the activities of various organs is an important area of research in physiology. In this paper, we evaluated the correlation among the brain and facial muscles’ reactions to various auditory stimuli. We played three different music (relaxing, pop, and rock music) to 13 subjects and accordingly analyzed the changes in complexities of EEG and EMG signals by calculating their fractal exponent and sample entropy. Based on the results, EEG and EMG signals experienced more significant changes by presenting relaxing, pop, and rock music, respectively. A strong correlation was observed among the alterations of the complexities of EMG and EEG signals, which indicates the coupling of the activities of facial muscles and brain. This method could be further applied to investigate the coupling of the activities of the brain and other organs of the human body.
