Abstract: We provide a graph model and metric for analysing the relevance of hierarchical structure towards the complexity exhibited in the functional connectivity of the brain from EEG signals. Indeed, we show that complexity arises between ‘all nodes are equal’ topologies and ‘strict class’ based topologies and, in a specific instance, the hierarchical complexity of EEG functional connectivity is greater than that of our specifically designed model.
