This chapter suggests a general working framework for experimental study of large-scale dynamics of EEG, including interpretation of data recorded at different spatial and temporal scales. It views source dynamics as a stochastic (random) process having statistical properties that change with changes in behavior and cognition. It avoids any attempts to choose the “best” methods of EEG or SSVEP data analysis because any such optimization requires prior knowledge of the underlying source dynamics. Fourier-based methods are emphasized to estimate power, phase, coherence, and closely related dynamic measures in distinct frequency bands. Additional methods include estimates of phase velocity across the scalp and frequency-wavenumber spectral analysis. The latter is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics, the natural spatial functions for dynamics on a spherical surface. This approach is used to pick out individual Schumann resonances as an example, in preparation for a similar application to EEG and SSVEP presented in Chapter 10.Less

I describe ongoing work on the development of Bayesian methods for exploring periodically varying phenomena in astronomy, addressing two classes of sources: pulsars, and extrasolar planets (exoplanets). For pulsars, the methods aim to detect and measure periodically varying signals in data consisting of photon arrival times, modeled as non‐homogeneous Poisson point processes. For exoplanets, the methods address detection and estimation of planetary orbits using observations of the reflex motion “wobble” of a host star, including adaptive scheduling of observations to optimize inferences.Less

This book, which is the first volume of two, presents a comprehensive treatment of aspects of classical and modern analysis relating to theory of ‘partial differential equations’ and the associated ‘function spaces’. It begins with a quick review of basic properties of harmonic functions and Poisson integrals and then moves into a detailed study of Hardy spaces. The classical Dirichlet problem is considered and a variety of methods for its resolution ranging from potential theoretic (Perron’s method of sub-harmonic functions and Wiener’s criterion, Green’s functions and Poisson integrals, the method of layered potentials or integral equations) to variational (Dirichlet principle) are presented. Parallel to this is the development of the necessary function spaces: Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces, Sobolev spaces (integer as well as fractional order), Hardy spaces, the John-Nirenberg space BMO, Morrey and Campanato spaces, Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Harmonic analysis is deeply intertwined with the topics covered and the subjects of summability methods, Tauberian theorems, convolution algebras, Calderon-Zygmund theory of singular integrals and Littlewood-Paley theory that on the one hand connect to various PDE estimates (Calderon-Zygmund inequality, Strichartz estimates, Mihlin-Hormander multipliers, etc.) and on the other lead to a unified characterisation of various function spaces are discussed in great depth. The book ends by a discussion of regularity theory for second order elliptic equations in divergence form— first with continuous and next with measurable coefficients—and covers, in particular, De Giorgi’s theorem, Moser iteration, Harnack inequality and local boundedness of solutions. (The case of elliptic systems and related topics is discussed in the exercises.)Less

This chapter presents three sets of problems and explains how these questions can be answered in an (almost) complete way in terms of Newton polyhedra associated to the given surface S (here, a smooth, finite type hypersurface in R³ with Riemannian surface measure dσ). The first problem is a classical question about estimates for oscillatory integrals, and there exists a huge body of results on it, in particular for convex hypersurfaces. The other two problems had first been formulated by Stein: the study of maximal averages along hypersurfaces has been initiated in Stein's work on the spherical maximal function, and also the idea of Fourier restriction goes back to him.Less

This chapter begins with an overview on square functions for spherical and Bochner–Riesz means which were introduced by Eli Stein, and discusses their implications for radial multipliers and associated maximal functions. It focuses on the Littlewood–Paley bounds for two square functions introduced by Stein, who had stressed their importance in harmonic analysis and many important variants and generalizations in various monographs. The chapter proves new endpoint estimates for these square functions, for the maximal Bochner–Riesz operator, and for more general classes of radial Fourier multipliers. The majority of the chapter is devoted to these proofs, such as for convolutions with spherical measures.Less

This chapter discusses the progress made towards problems originating from Stein's seminal paper, “Some problems in harmonic analysis.” It is by now well-known that the mapping properties of Fourier restriction operators to hypersurfaces in Rn and their variable coefficient generalizations are intimately related to questions of a combinatorial nature. Over recent years there has been quite a bit of research around these underlying issues. In some way, it became interdisciplinary with connections towards geometric measure theory, the theory of finite fields, incidence geometry, and mathematical computer science. While the central original problems remain unsolved, this line of research has produced many new results of independent interest, though the chapter focuses primarily on developments around the theory of oscillatory integrals.Less
