validity of phase measures

December 09, 2020

2 different signals, for which the phase is extracted via the hilbert transform. one will get some numerical values for phase in any case, but these values are not always meaningful in a physiological sense, without an oscillation present. pic.twitter.com/UhDStvlwgt

oscillation baseline shift and 1/f-exponents

October 16, 2025

ok, imagine you have an oscillation that is not symmetric around 0 (small direct current shift) with some amplitude modulation, for instance with 1/f-dynamics. ➡️ then these 1/f-dynamics will show up in low frequency part of spectrum (red); in addition to around oscillation peak (yellow).

beta as bursts / beta as a rhythm

June 06, 2024

"beta-activity as bursts", I am def 💯 OK with that.

but imho the pendulum has swung too far in the direction that all beta activity equals close to 1-2 cycle bursts. so just to illustrate diversity, here is some more sustained beta-activity, resting-state EEG.
