Contributions of action potentials to scalp EEG: theory and biophysical simulations

Niklas Brake, Anmar Khadra

This study investigates how action potentials contribute to scalp EEG by combining biophysical simulations and statistical modeling, finding that they account for at most 1% of the spectral density and that high-frequency EEG trends are mainly due to external noise and synaptic timescales.

Aperiodic EEG activity masks the dynamics of neural oscillations during loss of consciousness from propofol

Niklas Brake, Flavie Duc, Alexander Rokos, Francis Arseneau, Shiva Shahiri T, Anmar Khadra, Gilles Plourde

This study decomposes EEG changes during propofol-induced loss of consciousness into synchronous and asynchronous components, revealing that aperiodic activity, not rhythmic oscillations, drives spectral changes.
