A bstract : We recorded electrocortical activity in anesthetized rats and constructed k max new self‐similar time series, applying Higuchi's algorithm. The aim of this study was to estimate value of the parameter k max in order to obtain fractal dimension values as an optimum measure of biosignal change. After our analysis, electrocortical activity recordings resulted in a family of curves f(k max ). Three regions could be distinguished 2 ≤ k max < 8, with a U‐shape; 8 ≤ k max ≤ 30, with a steeper quasilinear increase; and k max ≥ 30, with a smaller slope quasilinear increase. We suggest the optimum region for k max : 8 < k max < 18, specifically k max = 8.
