contents We analyze electroencephalography (EEG) signals using the ordinal pattern framework to investigate whether different human brain states can be distinguished based on the disorder of EEG dynamics. Rather than analyzing raw EEG signals, we focus on the principal mode of EEG phase dynamics, reflecting anterior-posterior information flow, and quantify disorder using permutation entropy. We apply this to two datasets: (i) EEG recordings from a general anesthesia protocol, and (ii) EEG recordings acquired in the resting state from healthy control subjects and individuals with inattentive-type attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. We find that the permutation entropy distributions exhibit a clear dependence on brain state. In particular, conscious, inattentive-type ADHD, and eyes closed conditions show lower mean values and larger standard deviations of permutation entropy. To evaluate the discriminative power of permutation entropy, we train classification models using permutation entropy as an input feature. The results show that the distinction between conscious and unconscious states can be reliably captured in the general-anesthesia dataset. In the resting-state dataset, eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions are distinguishable, whereas classification between control and inattentive-type ADHD groups does not show clear separability. This indicates that information not captured in ordinal patterns, such as the original time-series values, may play a more crucial role in detecting inattentive-type ADHD. Our findings demonstrate that permutation entropy derived from EEG phase dynamics provides an effective indicator of brain states, particularly in relation to consciousness, while also highlighting its limitations for identifying individuals with inattentive-type ADHD.
