Abstract

Manual acupuncture (MA) is a traditional Chinese Medicine clinical therapy. Although its effectiveness has been proved by clinical trials over thousands of years, the effect and mechanism of acupuncture on the nervous system is not yet clear.Brain is senior central nervous system, and acupuncture as an external stimulation, can induce various electrical activitiesin the brain cortex.In this paper, we design experiment that acupuncture at acupointZusanli withfour different frequencies, andcollect neural signalson the brain.Detrended fluctuation analysis method is used to extract features from EEG signals evoked by different MA manipulations, which may provide theoretical basis forquantifying acupuncture and revealing the mechanism of acupuncture from the aspect of neural electrical signals.
