Electrocardiogram Processing During Torrance Thinking CreativityTest Using Entropy

This paper presents a novel approach for contradistinction creativity state and the rest using Electrocardiogram. Entropy is one of the nonlinear features that reveal signal complexity and detect of the cognitive behavior. Five types of entropy; Shannon, Renyi, Wavelet Shannon, Wavelet Norm, and Wavelet Logarithm energy entropy applied on the ECG signal, when 52 participants do Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Simulation results showed that wavelet Shannon entropy outperforms the others. Totally, there is a significant difference between the rest and each of the three phases of creativity tests.Results indicate that these nonlinear analysis like entropies can separate creative states.
