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

Fri Nov 7 05:36:20 PST 2025

Dear Makoto and EEGLAB community,

I would be happy to join this collaborative EEG project.
During my master’s research, I worked on topics related to neurostimulation and physiological responses to stress.
I am interested in expanding my knowledge toward EEG analysis, and I would be glad to assist with basic analysis tasks, data organization, or literature review as needed.

Best regards,

Dear Makoto and EEGLAB community,

Thank you for the invitation. I am very interested in learning more and
contributing to this collaborative project. I am a PhD student and have
used FOOOF on EEG data. I am eager to help with data analysis, writing, or
any tasks that support the group.

Best,
Yogesh Paul
