[...] age-related differences in aperiodic EEG/MEG signals can be driven by cardiac rather than brain activity [...] important implications for all future research [into] aperiodic neural activity [...] control for the influence of cardiac signals is essential.

Amazing, hilarious, thought-provoking and poignant show last night in Cardiff. Thank you! Really enjoyed by all three of us (25-59). As a neuroscientist wasn’t expecting that to come up. But, sorry Angela, Friday is YELLOW…almost shouted that out…

Excited to share the first preprint of my postdoc!
We explored a novel features space to describe M-EEG timeseries. These features are highly informative in differentiating brain states, even more than canonical features like power in predefined frequency bands! :D
