Capturing Aperiodic Temporal Dynamics of EEG Signals through Stochastic Fluctuation Modeling
Electrophysiological brain signals, such as electroencephalography (EEG), exhibit both periodic and aperiodic components, with the latter often modeled as 1/f noise and considered critical to cognitive and neurological processes. Although various theoretical frameworks have been proposed to account for aperiodic activity, its scale-invariant and long-range temporal dependency remain insufficiently explained. Drawing on neural fluctuation theory, we propose a novel framework that parameterizes intrinsic stochastic neural fluctuations to account for aperiodic dynamics. Within this framework, we introduce two key parameters-self-similarity and scale factor-to characterize these fluctuations. Our findings reveal that EEG fluctuations exhibit self-similar and non-stable statistical properties, challenging the assumptions of conventional stochastic models in neural dynamical modeling. Furthermore, the proposed parameters enable the reconstruction of EEG-like signals that faithfully replicate the aperiodic spectrum, including the characteristic 1/f spectral profile, and long range dependency. By linking structured neural fluctuations to empirically observed aperiodic EEG activity, this work offers deeper mechanistic insights into brain dynamics, resulting in a more robust biomarker candidate than the traditional 1/f slope, and provides a computational methodology for generating biologically plausible neurophysiological signals.

A spectral audit framework reveals task-dependent aperiodic reliance across EEG and ECG deep learning
Deep learning on physiological time series is interpreted through domain-specific features -- oscillatory rhythms in EEG, morphological complexes in ECG -- yet these signals sit atop a broadband aperiodic 1/f-like envelo…
