Description of the acupuncture neural electrical signals using visibility graphs

Neural electrical signals play an important role that help to transfer information in neural system. Acupuncture is equivalent to an external stimulus to the nervous system, induces which to evoke various kinds of neural electrical signals. In this thesis, animal experiment are designed and action potentials at dorsal spinal nerve root from peripheral nervous system are obtained. This thesis also investigate and quantify the acupuncture neural electrical signals by means of visibility graphs and complex network. The obtained results provide a brand new way for the quantification and standardization of acupuncture diagnosis based on neural electrical information.
