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

Fri Nov 7 06:02:41 PST 2025

Hi,

Thank you so much for starting such a cool initiative and made and open 
call. I work mostly on the development of brain function as measured 
with EEG and working on its parametrization. I would love to contribute 
in this project.

Best,

Josu
