Objective To explore the significant information deeply hidden in the irregular electroencephalography (EEG) signals with multifractaldetrended fluctuation analysis. Methods Multifractal singular spectrum and Hurst index of EEG signals in different groups were calculated based on the data from the database in Medical Center of University of Bonn. Results Multifractal singular spectrum discriminated different states of EEG effectively. Conclusions Multifractaldetrended fluctuation analysis is helpful to make an early diagnosis for epilepsy.
