The PyBispectra toolbox provides robust implementations for all of these analyses and more, with detailed tutorials showing you how to apply these methods to your data!

😕 Unfortunately, traditional methods for these analyses have serious limitations impacting their robustness and utility.

💡 However, recent work has shown the bispectrum, a frequency resolved measure of intra- and inter-signal properties, to overcome many of these limitations.

🔬 In it, we touch on how analysing phase-amplitude coupling, non-sinusoidal waveshape, and communication latencies can benefit our understanding of electrophysiology data.

This has also been a wonderful opportunity to contribute some great data analysis tools to open source software, adding new features to MNE (mne.tools/dev/) and MNE-Connectivity (mne.tools/mne-connectivity/dev/), and writing my own package PyBispectra (pybispectra.readthedocs.io/en/main/)!

Using multisite invasive recordings and advanced multivariate analysis methods, it offers new insights into the mechanisms of neurostimulation which will be important to consider for the development of next-generation closed-loop therapies.

Shared pathway-specific network mechanisms of dopamine and deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Deep brain stimulation is a brain circuit intervention that can modulate distinct neural pathways for the alleviation of neurological symptoms in patients with brain disorders. In Parkinson’s disease,...
