Summary

Comparing indirect and direct analysis of artificial electroencephalograms, this study found differences in results when correlation functions are not sufficiently damped. The indirect method is preferred for obtaining condition-independent results in stochastic processes.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in results were observed between direct and indirect methods when correlation functions were not sufficiently damped.
    • The Fourier transform of the correlation function and smoothing of Fourier series development yielded divergent outcomes.
    • A theoretical framework confirmed the mathematical basis for these discrepancies.

    Conclusions:

    • The indirect analysis method is preferable for EEG analysis when seeking results independent of inherent conditions.
    • Careful consideration of correlation function damping is essential for accurate EEG data analysis.
    • The choice of analysis method impacts the interpretation of stochastic processes in EEG.
