    Challenges in replay detection by TDLM in post-encoding resting state

    Simon Kern, Juliane Nagel ... Gordon B Feld
    Detecting replay during longer time periods (e.g. resting state or sleep) with temporally delayed linear modeling (TDLM) requires biologically implausible event densities, and purely synthetic simulations substantially overestimate the method's sensitivity.

    The dominance of large-scale phase dynamics in human cortex, from delta to gamma

    David M Alexander, Laura Dugué
    The phase of cortical activity, measured in the gray matter, is organized at multiple spatial scales, with the largest scales explaining most variance in phase at a given temporal frequency.
