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

[Gian Marco Duma]

Dear Makoto, if there is still a possibility i would like to participate to
this collaborative work. I have pretty good experience in 1/f distribution,
investigated using specparam algorithm. My works are mainly related to high
density EEG and source activity in patients with epilepsy during resting or
ictal conditions, in which we computed static and dynamic exponent of the
1/f distribution of the power spectrum.
Best,
Gian Marco Duma
