Abstract Magnetoencephalograms (MEG) from human brain were measured by means of a 37 channel SQUID magnetometer (KRENIKON). Correlation integrals were calculated from time series exhibiting strong α-rhythm in order to give estimates of correlation dimension andK 2 entropy. The results are discussed regarding the length and the stationarity of the data. It is shown that low spurious correlation dimensions andK 2-entropies may easily be obtained as artefacts due to time correlations in phase space and data length. When time correlations are avoided and the length of time series is taken into account, estimates of correlation dimension andK 2 entropy indicate no evidence of the existence of low dimensionality.
