Computational NeuroscienceAnalytical methods and experimental approaches for electrophysiological studies of brain oscillations

•Review of methods for studying brain oscillations with MEG/EEG.•Covers experimental approaches and analytical methods.•Focus on novel experimental approaches such as entrainment.•Describes methods for identifying relation between brain oscillations and behaviour.

Brain oscillations are increasingly the subject of electrophysiological studies probing their role in the functioning and dysfunction of the human brain. In recent years this research area has seen rapid and significant changes in the experimental approaches and analysis methods. This article reviews these developments and provides a structured overview of experimental approaches, spectral analysis techniques and methods to establish relationships between brain oscillations and behaviour.
