Multi-Modal Spectral Parametrization Method (MMSPM) for analyzing EEG activity with distinct scaling regimes
Aperiodic neural activity has been the subject of intense research interest lately as it could reflect on the cortical excitation/inhibition ratio, which is suspected to be affected in numerous clinical conditions. This phenomenon is characterized via the aperiodic scaling exponent $β$, equal to the spectral slope following log-log transformation of power spectra. Despite recent progress, however, most current methods do not take into consideration the plausible multimodal nature in the power …

A reformulation of the conjecture of Prasad and Takloo-Bighash
Prasad and Takloo-Bighash proposed a conjecture which predicts a necessary condition in terms of epsilon factors for representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ and its inner forms to have linear periods. In this rather expository article, we reformulate their conjecture in the following form: The distinguished members in each generic $L$-packet $Π_ϕ$ are determined by the characters of the component group $S_ϕ$ and local epsilon factors. We follow Aubert et al.\,for the definitions of the $L$-pac…
