This takes care of the usual autocorrelation issues in the surrogates and computes cluster mass based on complex representations in the polar plane so we can reliably control error rates in phase-related analyses. Putting together a quick tutorial paper plus open GitHub repo right now, more soon!

Together with Teresa Berther, @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, and @ualsbombe.bsky.social, we have developed a pipeline which uses IAAFT-based respiration time series surrogates to then adapt gold-standard cluster permutation testing for circular (phase-binned) data.

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

Indeed - for the OPM approach, follow Sarang (Aarhus) and the Brussels-based group around Pierre Corvilain and Julie Bertels; for specialized fetal SQUID MEG, @joelfrohlich.bsky.social is the one.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

Was passiert, wenn die kontinuierliche Dynamik von Erregung und Hemmung im Gehirn außer Balance gerät? Fokale Epilepsie ist eine neurologische Erkrankung, bei der wir im EEG und MEG eine erhöhte Erregbarkeit des Kortex beobachten - so feuern (zu) viele Neurone zum gleichen Zeitpunkt.

Bisher haben wir uns angeschaut, dass Atmung über verschiedene Mechanismen an Hirnaktivität gekoppelt ist und insbesondere rhythmischer Aktivität (Oszillationen) verschiedene Funktionalitäten zugeschrieben werden. Hier ist ein Aspekt für mein Lab besonders interessant: Kortikale Erregbarkeit.
