Abstract

Some special properties of fluctuating (time-varying) biological signals are compared with the predictions of Random Matrix Theory (RMT). The aim is to relate the structures of these fluctuations to the generality classes of random matrix theory in order to distinguish different pathological states of the human body. In particular, the statistical properties of random matrices with critical spectra will be analyzed. Possible applications of random matrix theory in the analysis of ECG and EEG signals will be discussed.
