A one-dimension EEG time series is divided equally into many segments, so that each segment can be regarded as an independent variables and multi-segmented EEG can be expressed as a data matrix. Then, we substitute mutual information matrix for covariance matrix in PCA and conduct the relevance analysis of segmented EEG. The experimental results show that the contribution rate of first principal component(FPC) of segmented EEG is more larger than others, which can effectively reflect the difference of epileptic EEG and normal EEG with the change of segment number.
