How Can We Identify Electrophysiological iEEG Activities Associated with Cognitive Functions?
PublicationElectrophysiological activities of the brain are engaged in its various functions and give rise to a wide spectrum of low and high frequency oscillations in the intracranial EEG (iEEG) signals, commonly known as the brain waves.
