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

[Ralph F]

Dear all,
I am keen to contribute. I have a PhD in psychology with experience in experimental psychology and theoretical knowledge in EEG (I tried but couldn't do it during my PhD, due to COVID lockdown). I also have extensive statistical expertise, e.g., clustering, time series, knowledge of ICA.
With Best,

 Hi Makoto,

Great initiative.
I'd like to participate too.
I'm not an expert in the field, but I look forward to learning by
contributing to it.
