Brain waves still cannot reliably distinguish between awake and asleep states. Here, I present new original indices, voltage subthreshold wave $\tau$ and abovethreshold wave burst, for advanced LFP/EEG readings. Assuming that $\tau$ is a…
Beta oscillations observed in motor cortical local field potentials (LFPs) recorded on separate electrodes of a multi-electrode array have been shown to exhibit non-zero phase shifts that organize into a planar wave propagation. Here, we…
Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors ---by either intrusive or noninvasive electrodes--- time and frequency variations and spectral content of voltage fluctuations or waves, known as brain rhythms, which in some way uncover activity during…
This paper proposes a novel lightweight method using the multitaper power spectrum to estimate arousal levels at wearable devices. We show that the spectral slope (1/f) of the electrophysiological power spectrum reflects the scale-free…
Temporal-lobe epilepsy in humans is often associated with widespread, synchronized neuron firing that co-occurs with traveling waves in local field potential. These traveling waves generate stochastic oscillations in a time series of…
Multi-electrode arrays (MEA) are increasingly used to investigate spontaneous neuronal network activity. The recorded signals comprise several distinct components: Apart from artefacts without biological significance, one can distinguish…
Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a way to understand, and evaluate neurotransmission. In this context, time-locked EEG activity or event-related potentials (ERPs) are often used to capture neural activity related to specific mental…
The various human brain tasks are performed at different locations and time scales. Yet, we discovered the existence of time-invariant (above an essential time scale) partitioning of the brain activity into personal state-specific frequency…
Slow waves (SWs) are spatio-temporal patterns of cortical activity that occur both during natural sleep and anesthesia and are preserved across species. Even though electrophysiological recordings have been largely used to characterize…
This paper presents a method for the detection of traveling waves of activity in neural recordings from multi-electrode arrays. The method converts local field potential measurements into the phase domain and fits a series of linear models…

A limiting factor towards the wide routine use of wearables devices for continuous healthcare monitoring is their cumbersome and obtrusive nature. This is particularly true for electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, which require the…
Localized persistent neural activity can encode delayed estimates of continuous variables. Common experiments require that subjects store and report the feature value (e.g., orientation) of a particular cue (e.g., oriented bar on a screen)…
The first recording of electrical potential from brain activity was reported already in 1875, but still the interpretation of the signal is debated. To take full advantage of the new generation of microelectrodes with hundreds or even…
The electroencephalographic (EEG) data intracerebrally recorded from 20 epileptic humans with different brain origins of focal epilepsies or types of seizures, ages and sexes are investigated (nearly 700 million data). Multi channel…
To evaluate EEG data, one can count local maxima and minima on a fine scale, in a sliding window analysis. This straightforward calculation, which simplifies and improves previous work on permutation entropy, directly defines a good proxy…
