(2008, background): “Phase coherence between source waveforms is implemented in software packages such as BESA.69,70 Some have even argued that modeling source activity does not eliminate the possibility that 2 sources are spuriously coherent because they are contaminated by activity from a third source.51 Accordingly, ”

Revolutionizing Pediatric Neurophysiology With Magnetoencephalography (2026, unknown): “…RS parameterization efforts have so far parameterized the EEG sensor power spectra, which reflect activity from multiple brain regions for discussions of the problems associated with this approach (see Edgar et al. 2003, 2017; Hoechstetter et al. 2004; Scherg and Berg 1996; Scherg and Picton 1991).”
