*Reached out to Hamilton (how do you know that a worm is anesthetized)?
−
**Aperiodic components of a signal will spread out their power in all frequencies, when doing FFT it can appear as if there is oscillatory activity when in fact there is none.
+
 
−
**Band analysis, including band power ratios, are rife with potential for misinterpretation unless you break out the aperiodic components
  −
**Changes in the aperiodic exponent or offset can mimic changes in band power
  −
*Read through the RISE application.
  −
**Mentoring plan is the most important single component.
  −
**Met with Norm Taylor to discuss timing and considerations for project directions and mentors, identify successful applicants.

**Implanted electrodes attract glia which adhere to the electrodes and make a local inflammatory response that increases impedance and reduces data quality.

**20 years ago he licensed some PK/PD software to GE but no one bought it. A Norwegian company tried the same thing, also without success. He is now trying to get it integrated into EPIC. Is it just a marketing problem that no one wants to buy it? They've shown that it changes how people deliver anesthesia (typically they use less, specifically opioid).
