First, the embedding dimension and the delay time were obtained through this method, then the phase space was reconstructed to resume the chaotie attractor and determine the LLE. The result shows that the trajectory of attractor is denser than Chen＇s attractor, and the LLE is positive, which means that not only the signal has the character of chaos, but also the chaotic degree of masseter EMG is relatively high. According to the value of the LLE, the chaotic degree of men＇s masseter EMG is higher than that of women＇s; when the dentition is normal, the chaotic degree of two sides is almost the same. Then, a conclusion can be deduced that if the LLE of both sides are in great difference, the unilateral mastication is likely to exist, which means that the nonlinear characteristics of masseter EMG can be applied to predict the unilateral mastication.展开更多

The At can be obtained by electrocardiography （ECG） or phonocardiography （PCG）. Because the pre-ejection period remains an uncertain factor, the present study used ECG and PCG to define the delay time and analyzed the accuracy of the reconstruction results. The △tpre is the actual delay time derived from the aorta to the carotid pressure wave, △tpco is the time delay between the aortic valve component of the second heart sound and the dicrotic incisura of the carotid pressure wave, and AtEcc represents the delay from the interval of the ECG R-peak to the foot of the carotid pressure wave. Compared with the measured aortic pressure, the reconstruction result obtained by △t=△tpcslightly differed from the best result estimated by △t=△tpre. However, the differences between the result obtained by △t=△tEco and the best result were significant in terms of the diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure, and especially in terms of the augmentation index and root-mean-square-error. Thus, the At should be determined by PCG for central aortic pressure reconstruction in practice.展开更多
