Heterogeneous correlate and potential diagnostic biomarker of tinnitus based on nonlinear dynamics of resting-state EEG recordings.

ABSTRACT: Tinnitus is a heterogeneous condition of hearing a rattling sound when there is no auditory stimulus. This rattling sound is associated with abnormal synchronous oscillations in auditory and non-auditory cortical areas. Since tinnitus is a highly heterogeneous condition with no objective detection criteria, it is necessary to search for indicators that can be compared between and within participants for diagnostic purposes. This study introduces heterogeneous though comparable indicators of tinnitus through investigation of spontaneous fluctuations in resting-state brain dynamics. The proposed approach uses nonlinear measures of chaos theory, to detect tinnitus and cross correlation patterns to reflect many of the previously reported neural correlates of tinnitus. These indicators may serv
