Amplifying the Neural Power Spectrum

We introduce a novel method that employs a parametric model of human electroen-cephalographic (EEG) brain signal power spectra to evaluate cognitive science experiments and test scientific hypotheses. We develop the Neural Power Amplifier (NPA), a data-driven approach to EEG pre-processing that can replace current filtering strategies with a principled method based on combining filters with log-arithmic and Gaussian magnitude responses. Presenting the first time domain evidence to validate an increasingly popular model for neural power spectra, we show that filtering out the 1/f background signal and selecting peaks improves a time-domain decoding experiment for visual stimulus of human faces versus random noise.
