基于脑电信号相位传递熵的谎言机制研究

说谎是复杂的认知过程，其执行控制功能需要不同脑区的共同参与，相关研究证实了这些脑区之间存在相互作用。针对当前脑电信号特征提取方法有限及谎言机制尚不明确的问题，利用相位传递熵构建了谎言实验过程中脑电信号的脑网络，并分析了诚实组和说谎组不同脑区间的效应连接差异。采用标准的三刺激实验模式对60名受试者进行说谎检测实验，同步采集所有受试者的脑电信号并进行预处理；利用相位传递熵构建效应连接矩阵，通过统计方法对矩阵中的每一条边进行2组间的熵值差异分析，选取具有显著性差异的导联对上的熵值作为全连接神经网络的分类特征，结果显示，分类准确率为96.75%，说明相位传递熵指标可以有效区分说谎者和诚实者2类人群的脑电信号；对2类人群大脑功能网络的分析结果显示，与诚实者相比，说谎类人群的额叶、顶叶和颞叶之间存在更强的信息流动，表明说谎行为需要协调和使用更多的大脑资源。研究结果有助于揭示说谎状态下大脑的神经活动机制。 

Lie mechanism based on phase transfer entropy of EEG signals

Lying is a complex cognitive process whose executive function requires the participation of different brain regions. And the interaction between these brain regions has been confirmed by related research. In view of the problems of limited current EEG signal feature extraction methods and the unclear psychological mechanism of lying, we constructed EEG signals-based brain networks by phase transfer entropy during the lie experiment, and we have analyzed the effective connectivity between different brain regions in the honest group and the lying group. First, the standard three-stimulus experiment was used to conduct a lying detection experiment on 60 subjects. The EEG signals of all subjects were collected simultaneously and preprocessed.Then, the phase transfer entropy was used to construct the effective connectivity matrix. Subsequently, the statistical method was used to analyze the entropy value difference between the two groups of each edge in the matrix, and the electrode pairs with significant differences in entropy value were selected as the classification features of the fully connected neural network. The result shows that the classification accuracy rate is 96.75%, indicating that it is effective to use phase transfer entropy index to distinguish the EEG signals of the liar and the honest. Finally, the brain function network of the two groups of people was analyzed. The results show that compared with honest people, there is a stronger flow of information between the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes of the liar, indicating that deception requires coordination and utilization of more brain resources. The above analysis results will help reveal the brain’s neural activity mechanism in a lying state.
