[Eeglablist] Invitation to collaborate on an open paper about EEG’s 1/f power distribution

[Anirudh George]

Dear Makato and the members of the EEGLab community,

I am a clinical neuropsychologist and currently attempting to apply EEG to
neurorehab.

And I am very interested in collaborating and contributing to this project.
Since I am just a beginner in EEG data analysis, I'd be happy to contribute
to any basic pre-processing, or other simple processing steps that might
need to be done for the project.
I am also happy to help with any literature review, or any other tasks that
would help the project.

Kind regards,
Anirudh
