"Recently, a specific role of nonlinear dynamics and complexity in neural and cognitive processes has been proposed, and there are several reported studies suggesting that smokers might display characteristic changes in the EEG dimensional complexity in comparison to non-smokers. With the aim to extend these findings to autonomic activity, we have examined dimensional complexity in bilateral electrodermal activity (EDA) that reflects limbic modulation influences and may provide information on specific emotional processes related to sympathetic activity. In the present study EDA was assessed in 35 smokers (mean age 23.4, SD=1.4) and 41 non-smokers (mean age 23.2, SD=1.8) during resting conditions. Calculation of dimensional complexity in both groups similarly as in previous reported studies was performed using an algorithm for pointwise correlation dimension (PD2)." . . "1211-3395" .
