Abstract Mental fatigue is caused by engaging in repeated single or high-load cognitive activities for long time. Short-term mental fatigue can cause decreased attention and reduced work efficiency, while long-term mental fatigue can cause brain damage. Extraction of mental fatigue characteristics can help detect mental fatigue and prevent the harm. Entropy can reflect changes of dynamic complexity under mental fatigue state and is expected to be an indicator for evaluating mental fatigue. However, entropy's extraction of EEG signal characteristics is affected by the superimposed trends in signals, makeing it impossible to accurately describe the dynamic characteristics of the signal and resulting in inconsistent entropy characteristics obtained at different time periods. In order to solve the problems, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) detrended fluctuation analysis was combined with fuzzy entropy to evaluate the dynamic complexity of EEG signal. The four-hour English scientific paper translation was used as a mental fatigue-inducing task and the EEG signal were recorded from 14 undergraduate volunteers in resting-state and mental fatigue state. The approximate entropy, fuzzy entropy and detrended fuzzy entropy of EEG signals in the two status and the three time periods were compared and analyzed. Results showed that compared with the traditional approximate entropy and fuzzy entropy, the detrended fuzzy entropy in the mental fatigue state was significantly different than that in the resting-state in the left hemisphere dominance (FC3, P=0.022; P5, P=0.007), and the electrodes with significant differences were basically consistent in the three time periods (The P-values of the FC3 in the three time periods are 0.025, 0.017, and 0.012, respectively, and the P-values of the P5 are 0.011, 0.006, and 0.017). It was shown that the detrended fuzzy entropy could better express the difference of brain complexity in two status, and had good time stability. Therefore, EMD-based detrended fuzzy entropy can be used to evaluate the impact of mental fatigue on brain dynamic complexity more quickly and effectively.
