Our paper on changes in periodic & aperiodic neural activity in Alzheimer's dementia is now published!
We find in AD a specifically periodic change, different from aperiodic changes in healthy aging!
Work w @MKopcanova, @LukeWTait, @ChrisSYBenwell & co!

🎓📜New paper with @ChrisSYBenwell & co on spectral changes in Alzheimer's disease!
We found that spectral parameterization shows the key changes in AD are periodic, differentiating AD from the aperiodic changes of healthy aging.
First authors: @MKopcanova & @LukeWTait
In our new pre-print, we find evidence that EEG changes in Alzheimer's disease are primarily oscillatory in nature, and not aperiodic. A multi-centre collaboration with @MKopcanova @LukeWTait @Tomdonoghue @MouhsinShafi @alvaropleone et al: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New paper with @ccbrainlab in @NeuroImage_EiC!
+microstate: A MATLAB toolbox for brain microstate analysis in sensor and cortical EEG/MEG, doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…
Highlights: Source-space microstates, microstate-connectivity, novel statistics, resting/evoked data, simulations
The toolbox comes with tutorial scripts which make use of freely-available open-access data, so you can exactly reproduce all figures/analyses from the paper. Tutorials include resting-state sensor EEG, group-level source MEG & microstate connectivity, simulations, ERFs.
You can download +microstate now from:
plus-microstate.github.io

New paper out now in Neuroimage with @ccbrainlab! MEG cortical microstates: Spatiotemporal characteristics, dynamic functional connectivity and stimulus-evoked responses. doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage… @NeuroImage_EiC 1/7
Our results suggest that cortical microstates are a powerful tool for studying anatomically interpretable brain states and dynamic functional connectivity. More work is in progress to further develop and validate the pipeline, so watch this space! 6/7
Finally, if you want to perform cortical microstate analysis (or use a wide range of novel statistical tools for sensor-space microstate analysis!), the pipeline is available in the +microstate toolbox:
