This study finds that adolescents with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 have higher aperiodic EEG activity, consistent with increased inhibitory tone, but no cognitive performance differences.

This study compares place cell detection methods in rats and humans, showing methodological differences affect identified place cell properties and cross-species comparisons.

This paper investigates how theta and alpha oscillations contribute to visual working memory, finding that aperiodic neural activity explains apparent theta paradoxes and reveals novel aperiodic dynamics.

The paper examines age-related changes in hippocampal and prefrontal cortex electrophysiology during navigation, finding compensatory prefrontal activity in older adults.

This study evaluates and compares different measures of aperiodic neural activity, showing shared variance across methods and differences in their sensitivity to oscillatory activity.

This study examines aperiodic neural activity across broader frequency ranges during sleep, finding that complex models with knee features capture sleep-stage differences and temporal dynamics.

The paper investigates whether Alzheimer's disease EEG changes are due to periodic or aperiodic signal alterations, finding they are purely periodic.

The paper examines how single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe encode different task-related variables in spatial and memory tasks, finding that some neurons flexibly shift their representations across tasks.

The paper shows that EEG spectral exponents reflect changes in E:I balance and selective attention, and track stimulus spectral exponents in sensory cortices, predicting behavioral performance.

An open-source Python algorithm decomposes neural power spectra into a dynamic aperiodic 1/f background and Gaussian oscillatory peaks without requiring predefined canonical frequency bands.

This paper shows that band ratio measures in electrophysiological data reflect both periodic and aperiodic activity, challenging their typical interpretation as oscillatory power ratios.

Once the aperiodic 1/f component is modelled, the childhood shift of MEG power toward higher frequencies no longer holds; only beta power rises with age, alongside a flatter spectrum.
