PAIMD: A NOVEL DATA-DRIVEN DECOMPOSITION METHOD FOR SEPARATING NEURAL SIGNAL INTO PERIODIC AND APERIODIC COMPONENTS

PAIMD: A Novel Data-Driven Decomposition Method for Separating Neural Signal Into Periodic and Aperiodic Components

Recording of brain activity comprises both periodic and aperiodic components.Recent studies postulate distinct physiological interpretations for aperiodic activity.Ignoring the aperiodic (fractal) component when analyzing the brain signal could result in incorrect conclusions.We proposed a new data-driven solution to the signal decomposition proble

Imaging Findings Associated with Cognitive Performance in Primary Lateral Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Introduction: Executive dysfunction occurs in many patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but it has not been well studied in primary lateral sclerosis (PLS).The aims of this study were to (1) compare cognitive function in PLS to that in ALS patients, (2) explore the relationship between performance on specific cognitive tests and diffu
