Effects of increasing the noise level for oscillatory signals: the harmonic frequency SNR of a non-sinusoidal oscillation deteriorates faster than the base frequency SNR, scrambling estimates of peak-trough asymmetry. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/7RP7TtoAzW

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).
